Coordination of humanitarian aid for Ukraine
12.03.2022
MATERIAL AID
Humanitarian aid in Poland, carried out regarding the Russian aggression on Ukraine includes:
a) aid provided to Ukraine
b) support provided to Ukrainian refugees in Poland
Individuals, companies and other institutions (from outside Poland) interested in providing material aid in Poland can help by:
a) Transferring it to the Polish institutions, if there is no recipient on the Ukrainian side. In such a situation, they can submit their application via the website www.pomagamukrainie.gov.pl (in Polish, Ukrainian and English). On this website, there are specific forms concerning, inter alia, the type of offer submitted. Separate paths and forms are dedicated to companies, local governments, private individuals and non-governmental organizations. The aid will be directed to Polish hubs, and then coordinated by Polish institutions to Ukraine.
b) Transferring it directly to the Ukrainian side (if they have their partner on the Ukrainian side). The transit of convoys with humanitarian aid through the territory of the Republic of Poland on the border with Ukraine takes place through two border crossings: Dorohusk and Korczowa. From March 5, a simplified form for all checks with humanitarian aid to the Ukrainian side has been implemented. The form, also in English, can be found at the following link: https://pomagamukrainie.gov.pl/konwoj
