A local MS is urging residents across her constituency and across Conwy to donate to the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal if they are able to do so.
Janet Finch-Saunders, Member of the Welsh Parliament for Aberconwy made her call as President Putin continues to subject people in the Ukraine to unimaginable horrors.
More than one million civilians have fled Ukraine because of the Russian invasion, according to the United Nations.
By donating to the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal, all of us will help Disaster Emergency Committee charities provide food, water, shelter and healthcare to refugees and displaced families.
Commenting on the crisis, Janet said: “The Ukrainian people and Volodymyr Zelenskyy are truly inspirational in their fight for survival since the Russian dictator launched his unprovoked, premeditated and barbaric attack on a free and peaceful neighbour.
“Whilst the UK Government is working with allies around the world on multiple fronts to ensure that Putin feels the full cost of his invasion, I know that many of you want to help.
“Earlier this week after the debates had concluded in the Welsh Parliament, I attended a meeting with politicians from all parties to discuss the catastrophe on our continent. I was moved by the stories shared, and touched by tales of residents from Ynys Môn to Monmouthshire making an effort to help.
“I encourage as many as possible to back the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. The UK Government will match donations from the public pound-for-pound up to £20 million, meaning your support will go even further”.
