Dear friends all over the world,
Here I give you a short overview about the help for Ukraine and how the guilds in Europe and especially the Central Europe Sub-Region supported the victims of the cruel aggression by the Russian army.
During the first weeks after the 24th of February 2022 about 2 million people fled from the Ukraine to the neighbouring states Poland, Slovakia, Hungary or Romania. And if they had had the good luck to get flight tickets, to countries like Germany, Austria, Sweden and others.
Meanwhile the number will be more than 5 million as reported. Till summer the number of refugees had been getting lower, but now, as Russia had again started to bomb houses, power stations and water supply, it is raising once more. At Cracow main train station our Polish guild members offer food and drinks to about 1500 persons daily.
