Polish postal worker Janusz Zwanski and three of his colleagues are getting ready to head into Ukraine once again to provide soldiers and civilians with much needed aid, including military gear, pampers and food. Last weekend, the father of four and his friends drove to Ukraine’s western city of Lviv and this weekend, they plan on heading further east to the capital, Kyiv.
‘Someone must do it. If not us, then who?’
Janusz Zwanski told the FRANCE 24 Observers team that he and his colleagues plan on heading into Ukraine after work every Friday evening and driving back on Sunday, so they can log into their day jobs on Monday. During their time in Ukraine, they want to do everything they can to help.
At first, we thought of going to the border, but there is already a lot of humanitarian support there, so we decided to bring help where it is most needed: inside Ukraine.
We contact people on the ground through Facebook to find out what they need and we bring it to them. Last weekend, we took military boots, uniforms, walkie talkies and binoculars for Ukrainian soldiers and basic necessities for civilians like pampers, tampons, and food. We also take a lot of fuel.
It is very difficult in Ukraine at the moment – it’s a war. There is also very bad weather and it gets very cold, especially at night. When you speak to the people there, when you look into their eyes and see women with children in their arms … it leaves us with no choice. My children, my wife and my family are worried about me, but I can’t be worried, I must focus on helping. Someone must do it….
