Financial aid for Ukraine is what we value most at the moment, says Klára Boumová

Klára Boumová works at Caritas Czech Republic as a manager for advocacy in the field of migration. In addition to direct assistance to the needy, Caritas also comments on laws in the social and health field or initiates negotiations on the need for systemic changes at national and European level. However, the normal working day was disrupted by the war in Ukraine, to which it was necessary to react quickly and to coordinate the assistance provided in appropriate way. We talked to Klára Boumová about the assistance Caritas provides to people fleeing the war in Ukraine to the Czech Republic.

Director of Caritas Mariupol: Until last moment we believed Putin would not attack

The situation in Ukraine is very dramatic. Until a few days ago, few people believed that Russia would decide to launch an all-out invasion of Ukraine. Now the country is under intense attack by the Russian army. There is fighting and bombing in many places, and people are fleeing their homes. The situation is most intense in eastern Ukraine. On Thursday afternoon, we spoke with the director of Caritas Mariupol, Rostislav Sprynyuk, about the situation.
