Rotary International has raised $75 million in humanitarian aid since the war in Ukraine started, and with winter on the way, supporters say Ukraine will need every bit of that and more to survive.
"The missile attacks took out close to 50% of the Ukrainian energy infrastructure, basically trying to freeze to death 40 million people," Rotary International CEO John Hewko said."When you crossed the Poland border into Ukraine, the air raid sirens go off. So welcome. Welcome to Ukraine," Hewko said.
"I walked through the cemetery, and saw the photographs of all of the soldiers, the men and women who had died so far in the war were buried there," Hewko said.SEE MORE: Zelenskyy lobbies Congress, meets President Biden at White House"The goal of the present war against Ukraine is to turn our land, our people, our lives, our resources -- into a weapon, against you.
