February 25, 2022—The international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) released the following statement today:

MSF’s teams in Ukraine are deeply worried about the consequences of the conflict for Ukrainian people and communities. We see on the roads that tens of thousands of people are frightened and on the move.

Although MSF remains present in the country for now, we had to make the painful decision to halt our activities. These included HIV care in Severodonetsk, TB care in Zhytomyr, and improving health care access in Donetsk in eastern Ukraine, where we have been providing much-needed health care to conflict-affected communities.

Although these programs have now mostly stopped, we did all we could to ensure some continuity of care for our patients. The needs were already high as people had been living through more than seven years of conflict, and we are worried about the impact prolonged fighting could have on patients, many of whom are elderly and suffer from chronic diseases. Immediately before the escalation of tensions, we were in contact with several hospitals in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts to provide training in emergency medicine and surgical preparedness, and yesterday, our team provided one mass casualty kit, with supplies for treating traumatic injuries, to a hospital in Mariupol.

As hostilities continue, assuring people’s access to health care and medicines will be critical. Our teams are looking into how they can adapt MSF's activities to respond.

The situation is fast-evolving, so we are mobilizing an emergency-preparedness response to be ready for a variety of potential needs. Our teams in Belarus and Russia stand ready to provide humanitarian assistance if needed and we are looking to send teams to other neighboring countries to be ready on standby, either for a response in Ukraine or to provide humanitarian medical assistance to refugees seeking asylum abroad. Our supply centers are currently working on readying medical kits for rapid dispatch. We will need to see over the coming period what access will be possible to provide humanitarian assistance in a safe and impartial manner.

8. I want to give money so they can buy weapons.

Any credible organizations for it?

The only way to get Putin’s stormtroopers out is to kill them.
