The war in Ukraine arouses a lot of emotion in France. Several humanitarian organizations, such as the Red Cross, call for solidarity. Smaller associations are also ready to send basic necessities or medical equipment.

From his living room, Dmytro Atamanyuk, president of medical and charitable aid AMC – France-Ukraine, contacts pharmacies and hospitals in search of emergency medical equipment. For eight years, his association has been helping Ukraine. But in the last few hours, everything has accelerated. Dmytro has already collected beds, mattresses, which he stores in the warehouse of a Ukrainian entrepreneur. The community helps each other.

A convoy should leave in the next few days. AT Perpignan (Pyrénées-Orientales), another association collects operating theater equipment and first-class drugs.s rescue. On site, it has become very difficult to obtain supplies. Solidarity also means coming together, as in Lyon (Rhône) or Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône), Montpellier (Herault), Paris. Ukrainians in France are in disarray, and many do not know how to help their families.
