First Vice President of the Ukrainian World Congress and Co-Chairman of the Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organizations, Stefan Romaniw, after his visit to Ukraine, called on Canberra to help Kyiv in three aspects. This was reported by the UWC on its website.
He pointed out that Ukraine desperately needs supplies of critical defense equipment such as drones, demining and evacuation vehicles. In addition, medical and social support for war-affected people and support for reconstruction initiatives led by business and local authorities are needed.
"Ukraine knows that it will win this war, but it needs the right help to continue the fight and support Ukrainians affected by Russia's war," emphasized Romaniw.
Stefan Romaniw also thanked Australia for the aid package provided by Australian defense companies. This support was handed over by the government of Anthony Albeniz last week. In addition, he noted Canberra's decision to deploy a radar detection and targeting aircraft system to Europe to assist Ukraine.
Romaniw also emphasized the great social and psychological impact of the Russian war on Ukrainians. Treating trauma and supporting internally displaced persons, children and veterans, as well as helping the population to deal with collective tragedies due to the loss of family and friends are of great importance.
"Australia has already begun to help Ukraine in this area - currently, seven Ukrainian mental health specialists are in Australia on a study trip funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The specialists will introduce themselves with local mental health services and the use of digital applications in providing support at the front," explained Romaniw.
Medical care is also important for Ukraine, as an estimated 20,000 to 50,000 people in Ukraine need amputations.
Ukraine is also interested in developing partnerships with Australian businesses, chambers of commerce and local governments to help rebuild destroyed cities and essential infrastructure.
"As Ukraine rebuilds, it will need capital as well as advice on best practices and how to build modern, sustainable cities. Australian businesses and local councils have a lot of knowledge and experience in this area," Romaniw concluded.
