The MOAS medevac initiative is asking for help

The relevant statement, available to Ukrinform, was explained by the urgent need for additional funding.

“For MOAS, an international humanitarian destroyer that has saved 62,000 lives and counts on the Ukrainian front line, this is a do-or-die moment,” the organization said.

Without additional support, MOAS may continue to evacuate the most seriously injured soldiers from the medical line until the end of this year. There is no funding to continue until 2025.

MOAS is now in urgent negotiations with all its donors in North America and Europe to ensure that the rescue operation continues.

“We are in talks with the UK government which we desperately hope will produce results,” says Christopher Catrambon, founder of MOAS, who has been based in Kyiv since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion.

The monthly cost of a team of 150 medics working in 50 state-of-the-art ambulances is $1 million, the price of a Storm Shadow missile.

“The facts are simple. If we have to stop our operation, a huge number of Ukrainian soldiers will die. According to the Ukrainian general, it will be a complete disaster. They are overworked and can’t do what we do. And no other NGO in Ukraine can. That’s why we’re launching this urgent call for support today. This is our last roll of the dice or die.”

The international humanitarian organization says it has saved 62,000 lives so far and is counting on the Ukrainian front line.

For almost three years, all-Ukrainian medics of the organization evacuated – and supported the lives of – the most seriously wounded soldiers, helping them to return to other military tasks and make a significant contribution to military operations.
