"Two million euros – I am gobsmacked, what can I say… I have no words. I am gobsmacked, happy and determined. We are now starting to distribute resources differently than before," he told BNS as he's now returning to Ukraine.
The NGO keeps on receiving new donations, he says. "We've had companies that transferred 20,000 euros. A lot of people have donated 100 euros. There was one person who brought 4,000 euros in cash. That's impressive," Ohman said.
The money will be used to supply Ukrainian troops with fuel and transport.
"We are receiving serious requests from Ukraine. For example, soldiers are asking for 10 tons of diesel per month to be able to fight. We are buying SUVs, medical equipment, medication kits. We are now looking for electronics with Ukrainian intelligence. We will decide on transportation ways via Poland, bringing vehicles to the border where Ukrainian can pick them up, repaint and then back into war. We need to fight, diplomacy is over," Ohman said.
Lithuania's Red Cross is also collecting donations for war refugees from Ukraine, reporting on Friday that it had already collected over 400,000 euros in cooperation with other four NGOs.
Russia attacked Ukraine from several directions on Thursday and is attacking Kyiv on Friday.
