House Republican CaucusHouse Republican leaders are urging Gov. Tom Wolf to consider sending some of the soon-to-expire personal protective equipment sitting in the state’s stockpile to aid with the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine during its ongoing conflict with Russia.
“The most unfortunate and heartbreaking impact of this Russian-caused atrocity is the humanitarian crisis that has resulted from civilian displacement, injury and/or death,” the letter stated. “Fortunately, this may be another area in which Pennsylvania can muster support and render aid to the people of Ukraine while we use other tools at the commonwealth’s disposal to substantively impact Russia’s ability to continue this conflict.
Now with the easing of pandemic-related mitigation efforts by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, commonwealth and local governments, the lawmakers asked the administration to consider their request.
