IFAW sends aid to Ukrainian animal shelters
"IFAW continues to expand out support to local partners in Ukraine" - International Fund for Animal Welfare.
The organisation has offered support to several charities. 

The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) has sent emergency aid to animal shelters and organisations in Ukraine following Russia's invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022.

Since the beginning of the Russo-Ukrainian War last month, the organisation has rushed emergency aid to its partner shelters in Donetsk and Gorlovka to cover the cost of pet food, veterinary supplies and wages for daily care staff. 

IDAW has partnered with the Poznań Zoo in Poland, which is providing temporary shelter and care for wildlife rescued from the war. 

In its latest update on emergency aid in Ukraine, IFAW said: “IFAW continues to expand our support to local partners in Ukraine who are helping animals amidst ongoing and violent attacks from Russia. 

“Our team also awarded an emergency grant to Save Wild’s White Rock Bear Shelter, a bear rehabilitation center in Chubyns’ke outside of Kyiv. Staff and volunteers sheltered in place to care for their animals after armed conflict near the city intensified. 

“With our grant funding, the center was able to purchase much-needed food and supplies for the bears under their care. 

“Since then, the bears have been evacuated and relocated to the Four Paws’ Bear Sanctuary Domazhyr in the Lviv region, Ukraine.” 

A $50,000 grant has also been issued to World Central Kitchen (WCK) to assist in providing meals in Ukraine, and at eight of the Polish-Ukrainian border crossings, and are also working in Romania and Moldova, with plans to expand to Slovakia and Hungary.
