Vereschuk discusses evacuation logistics, donor funding for wounded with MOAS founder

Deputy Head of the Presidential Office of Ukraine Iryna Vereschuk discussed issues of tactical medicine and international donor funding for medical evacuation with the founder of the humanitarian organization Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS), which evacuates wounded Ukrainian soldiers.

"Today I met with Christopher Catrambone — an American philanthropist, founder of MOAS, who has lived in Ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion and manages this humanitarian project. We discussed issues of tactical medicine, evacuation logistics, as well as international donor funding for medical evacuation," Vereschuk wrote on Telegram on Friday following the meeting.

She said MOAS has carried out tens of thousands of evacuations since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion. "The evacuation work of MOAS and other similar humanitarian teams is substantial support for the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and civilian medical facilities. Their humanitarian mission saves lives and preserves the health of our defenders," Vereschuk said.
