We Natolinians for Ukrainians

24 February 2023 marks one year since Russia began an unprovoked full-scale war against Ukraine resulting in the loss of numerous lives and posing a threat to global and European security.

The College of Europe in Natolin has been with Ukraine since the first days of the invasion. Therefore, the students of the David Sassoli promotion are proud to announce the beginning of a new fundraising campaign for the Ukrainian Volunteer Paramedical Battalion “Hospitallers”.

Last year, the College Community was actively involved in volunteering and providing shelter, financial and humanitarian aid to Ukraine. The students of the Éliane Vogel-Polsky promotion raised over €15,000 via crowdfunding.

The war, however, is not over: there is still a lot to be done ! We would like to use every opportunity to help those who need it in Ukraine. Therefore, we ask you to support this year’s student initiative and contribute to a fundraising campaign for the Volunteer Paramedical Battalion “Hospitallers”.

Hospitallers are a group of civilian paramedics operating on the front lines of Donbas since 2014. They provide first medical aid to critically wounded civilians and soldiers, as well as post-hospital support and rehabilitation to those affected by military actions and their families. Founded by a medical volunteer Yana Zinkevych, the Hospitallers team currently comprises over 500 brave individuals working 24/7 to save lives through emergency treatment in Ukrainian war zones, often putting their own lives at risk.

As a non-state organization, the Hospitallers rely solely on their collaboration with volunteers and your donations. Their motto is “for the sake of every life,” and our goal is to help them fight for those lives by providing medical and technical equipment.

Today, we are appealing to the College of Europe community – alumni, friends, families – and anyone in Europe or beyond who would like to contribute to our fundraising campaign. Any donation will help us to save lives in Ukraine.

Students of the College of Europe in Natolin.

Слава Україні!
