During a Russian attack on Kyiv on the night of July 31, the warehouse of the Lithuanian organization Blue/Yellow was destroyed. It provided humanitarian aid in Ukraine, reports LRT.
The Russian Shahed drone completely destroyed one of the temporary warehouses of the Blue/Yellow NGO. The neighboring buildings were also seriously damaged.
According to the organization, this warehouse was one of several that Blue/Yellow used to temporarily store humanitarian aid from Lithuania before sending it to the front. Personal protective equipment (helmets, vests) for employees and medics was stored there.
"No one in Ukraine is safe from such attacks. It is a daily reality of war. The most important thing is that people were not injured. The Foundation did not suffer any serious losses, so our work does not stop - we will continue to raise funds and send them to the defenders of Ukraine," said Laura Paukštė, CEO of Blue/Yellow.
