A rescue attempt is in full throttle in Brooklyn as volunteers fiercely gather supplies of all kinds to help the refugee crisis in Ukraine following Russia's invasion.
Michelle Charlesworth explains how Americans can offer some help to Ukrainians after Russia's invasion of the country.
Organizers tell Eyewitness News reporter Lucy Yang that the container will fly out first thing Wednesday morning, land early next week in Poland, then be driven into western Ukraine where another team of volunteers are standing by to distribute the critical medical supplies. "We definitely not going to stop. We're going to do as much as possible," volunteer Valeria Vasylets said.
Inside every box is a love note. One says,"Stay Strong our dearest. You are the best. Ukraine will survive. With love from New York."Once the load goes out, the next truck will be filled with equipment for the soldiers who are fighting a war they never started. Nonperishable foods and clothes will be shipped later. On top of that, Lucy Yang was told a group from Ohio is now driving several trucks full of donations to this location.
