The aid flight carrying 32 tons and more than $3.5 million worth of medical supplies for Ukraine was still in the air en route to Poland when theThe flight was organized by the Ukrainian Association, Nova Ukraine, the Ukrainian Student Association at Stanford, Medical Teams International, and the Ukrainian-American Cultural Association of Oregon and Southwest Washington, in partnership with the Ukrainian Honorary Consulate in Seattle, Governor Jay Inslee’s Office, and the Port of Seattle.
Now the group is hoping to be able to replicate the effort with a second cargo plane in the near future. Kovalenko, who is currently in Poland to help transport the resources from the plane into Ukraine, said the group is still collecting medical supplies and does not plan to let up the effort anytime soon. As long as the war continues and people are still in need, they will keep collecting goods and organizing flights.
It is not just hospitals with specialized equipment that can help out — Kovalenko said regular people can also get involved. The Ukrainian Association is desperately in need of donations of simple over-the-counter pain medications like Tylenol and Advil. Kovalenko said these acetaminophen and ibuprofen pills are very difficult to get in Ukraine at the moment.
