In response to Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, tens of thousands of volunteers from all over the world traveled to the region to help the embattled country. Kamil, a 28-year-old Polish man living in Ireland traveled to the city of Lviv, Ukraine to assist with humanitarian efforts.

According to Kamil, the Polish Legion is a voluntary organization that has provided Ukraine with medicine, food, and other aid during the crisis. The organization is just one example of the many efforts from Polish people to assist Ukrainian refugees. As the World Health Organization in Europe noted, Poland and many other countries neighboring Ukraine have taken the initiative to offer these types of essential services and support. According to Kamil, his daily activities include coordinating refugee assistance logistics at Lviv’s train station.
