The Help Ukraine charitable organization, created by Ukrainian businessmen, has organized a hub in the city of Husi (Romania) for the collection and distribution of humanitarian aid for Ukraine, the collected goods will be sent through Moldova to Odesa, Mykolaiv and Kherson.

The opening on March 19 of a new route for the delivery of humanitarian and medical cargo to the southern regions of Ukraine with a transshipment center in Romania was written by CEO and co-owner of the TIS port Andriy Stavnitser on Facebook.

"We are opening the southern corridor for the delivery of humanitarian and medical supplies. Odesa and Mykolaiv will now also be able to receive support - the new Help Ukraine hub is already operating in Romania ... Odesa, it so happened that we are now a "rear" city, and we need to supply Mykolaiv and from there, if possible, Kherson," Stavnitser wrote on the social network.

He clarified that the warehouse in Husi is functioning, and philanthropists can already send humanitarian aid to Ukrainians.

"The goods travel through Moldova, so the center in Romania does not accept dual-use cargo. Only medicine, food, baby food and hygiene items. The aid will be distributed by the Municipal Center for Humanitarian Aid, Information and Economic Support (Odesa), 59a Mechnikova Street," the businessman specified.

Stavnitser stressed that the center in Romania is looking for volunteers who can apply by filling out the following form at the following Internet address: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1DCTartDXPHOHw3EzzKVihaj3hOBA3G2EN_Ah7Le5WpY/viewform?edit_requested=true&fbclid=IwAR36E-ImHyP3nGSKUsoazMyD5VFtXNR54augRll7H-qQhYoy10BWhiEzCZ8
