Ukraine in flames

On February 24th, 2022 Ukraine was brutally invaded by Russia, leading to catastrophic results. Entire cities have been wiped out, thousands have been killed and millions have been forced to leave their homes. The entire country is under siege and the unceasing attacks result in continuous fires. At the moment, there is a devastating lack of first responders and equipment to help fight the fires.

In the first 6 weeks since the war:

45 buildings damaged

units captured​

As a result of the attacks:

28 first responders have died

68 have been injured
