UWC creates Task Force to support Ukrainians worldwide during COVID-19 pandemic

The Ukrainian World Congress (UWC) has established an International Task Force to provide support to Ukrainian communities around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Global Ukrainian community is facing unprecedented challenges today. UWC established International Task Force to coordinate support for our communities in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic,” reads the statement on the UWC website.

The Task Force, bringing together Ukrainian community leaders from all over the world, will closely work with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, governments, international organizations and churches.

The Task Force will work to provide accurate and timely information; offer practical support to those who need it most; assist Ukraine in procuring much needed medical supplies and equipment through working with governments, suppliers and humanitarian organizations.

At this challenging time, UWC President Paul Grod addressed the leaders of global Ukrainian communities.

“My sincere condolences to those who have tragically lost their loved ones. I pray for strength for those of us combating the disease or supporting family members. Faced with a new reality, we are still one global Ukrainian family, coming together to help those in need. We call on Ukrainian organizations worldwide to join this important effort,” the UWC president stated.
