In Lviv, humanitarian aid worth 800,000 euros from the USA has disappeared

Approximately 10,000 Individual First Aid Kits (IFAKs), purchased and sent by American volunteers for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), have vanished without a trace, according to an investigation by the “Nashi Hroshi Lviv” project.

The publication states that the story “clearly points to the involvement of the Lviv Regional Military Administration and certain charitable foundations it collaborates with.”

The United Ukrainian American Aid Committee began actively sending humanitarian aid to Ukraine since the start of the invasion. The cost of delivering one sea container was around 8,000 to 10,000 dollars.

In October 2022, an American of Ukrainian origin named Liliya Tashchuk from the Lviv-based charitable foundation “Intelligent Organization” contacted the committee and claimed to be cooperating with the Lviv RMA. She offered to take care of the payment for delivering the aid to Lviv.

As a result, the humanitarian aid was sent, but the medical kits never reached the military.

“The cargo was delivered to the checkpoint on the Polish-Ukrainian border, and it was even registered by Polish customs officials. Then something happened to it – it was unsealed, and somehow, part of the items ended up in Lviv at the Lviv RMA warehouse, while the rest simply disappeared,” the publication reports.
