Galway

Local organisation, Ukrainians Helping Ukrainians Galway (UHUG) has come together on the streets of the city to highlight the ongoing conflict.
On Wednesday, July 10th, volunteers and supporters gathered in Eyre Square for a peaceful rally after a Russian missile attack on the Ohmatdyt children’s hospital in Kyiv.
Draped in the blue and yellow of the national flag, members of UHUG say it is a “catastrophe for Ukraine” and they “want people to know what happened” as it is “a tragedy that cannot be ignored.”<img src="https://d2hz75cbudexsj.cloudfront.net/insideAppNews/images/c08681f2-ae67-4d01-93cd-77f822f81147.jpg" alt="undefined" style="float:none;height: auto;width: auto"/>
The Galway based organisation, UHUG, was established to create a safe space and assistance to anyone fleeing the war-torn country.&nbsp;
They are seeking new ways to bring together those who have been forced to leave their home and relocate to Ireland.
“UHUG is a team of volunteers helping Ukrainians integrate into Irish society,” explains one of the organisers, Artem Kvashyn.&nbsp;
"We gather for volunteering in the city, for coffee mornings, events, master classes, and to provide job-seeking and psychological support.”
As the conflict continues, UHUG emphasises the importance of community support and awareness for those affected by the ongoing crisis.
