In total, since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Poland's 'Dziękujemy Za Wolność' ('Thank You for Freedom') foundation have provided over a thousand tactical medical backpacks with equipment and personal first aid kits across the Ukrainian border.

On Friday, the non-profit's chairman, Adam Zawadzki, reached the central Ukraine's city of Zhytomyr with yet another first aid kits transport for those defending their country from the Russian invaders.

The activist emphasised that during the upcoming May holiday, Poles should not forget about their neighbours who are fighting against the Moscow's aggression in Ukraine. Zawadzki reported that the country's population is constantly disturbed by the air raid alarms - and although the inhabitants of Zhytomyr want to live normally and enjoy spring, the spectre of war is definitely felt.

The non-profit's chairman added that the further east you go across Ukraine, the more you see how much every possible help is needed for those who are fighting for the freedom of their country.

Previously, Poland's 'Thank You for Freedom' foundation and its Ukrainian partners provided food and clothes for the residents of the war-affected areas as well. The activists also jointly support the Poles living in Ukrainian territory, across the historic borderlands of the Republic of Poland. Working together, these Polish and Ukrainian organisations have been helping the animals affected by the war too - bringing large quantities of pet food to Ukraine. And once they even provided the Ukrainian services with a canine trained to detect landmines.

Russia first illegally invaded Ukraine in 2014 - and has occupied a significant part of the country ever since. On February 24, 2022, Moscow took things further mounting an unlawful and unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine - which is the largest military campaign in Europe since World War II.

Numerous reports from a variety of sources state that since the full-scale invasion started, Russians have committed countless war crimes in Ukraine - breaking the Geneva convention on a daily basis and killing tens of thousands of civilians.

The list of Kremlin's transgressions reported includes regular attacks on non-military targets, murdering and torturing large numbers of war prisoners and civilians, kidnapping thousands of Ukrainian children into Russia - and using forbidden weapons.

Saturday is day 794 of Russia’s full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine.
