Unicef Finland has also raised an exceptional amount of money for Ukraine, he revealed Terhi BruunUnicef Finland’s communications expert.
“It’s many times more than we’ve raised during other crises,” he said.
All humanitarian organizations considered monetary donations to be the best and most effective way to help victims of war. Donations will provide food, water, medicine, shelter and hygiene and hospital products, as well as psychosocial assistance and services to support the learning of Ukrainian children.
“Money can be used to buy and send goods and aid workers from Finland. We are able to act quickly because the system is very well organized and the aid is effective, Laurinsilta said.

“We’re not talking about sprinting. Helping Ukraine is a long process – at least a marathon, if not an ultra trip. It will take several years for Ukraine to get back on its feet,” Laurinsilta explained.
