Canadian Ex-Pat Returns To Canada to Share Her Story and Strengthen Support for Ukraine
Former Saskatonian, Lana Nicole Niland, Founder of Ukrainian Patriot, has returned from war-torn Ukraine to speak about what she has seen in cities, towns, and villages throughout Ukraine - many of which are along the frontline - and appeal to Canadians to support the efforts of Ukrainian Patriot.?
Ukrainian Patriot is a group of Ukrainians and internationals working to aid volunteers defending Ukraine and those civilians caught in the crossfire in this war on Ukraine. Founded by Lana Nicole Niland just days after Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022, Ukrainian Patriot is a 100% volunteer organisation. Because of the volunteer nature of our organisation, and because of the partnerships we’ve formed on the ground in Ukraine and eastern Europe, such as Poland’s Red Cross, more of our funds directly benefit Ukrainians in harm’s way, every single day.?
Ms. Niland has traveled back to Canada from her home in Kyiv and will only be here until the end of August before making her way back to Ukraine to continue Ukrainian Patriot’s efforts. As her work with UP takes her out to the frontlines of battles happening daily in eastern Ukraine, Lana is able to deliver first-hand accounts of this terrible war, through her experience delivering supplies, food, and gear to volunteers as well as servicemen and women at the front and bringing Ukrainian citizens in grave danger back to safety.
Throughout her limited time in Canada, Lana will be leading UP fundraising efforts and increasing awareness that the war is far from over in Ukraine. In fact, as the number of casualties and the amount of destruction of property mounts, the needs in Ukraine continue to grow exponentially.?
Lana will be delivering this message to groups and organisations throughout Canada during her August sojourn, and although her limited schedule is filling up quickly, there is still time to have Ms. Niland bring her message of the realities of what could very possibly turn into WWIII, and the hope Ukrainian Patriot is working tirelessly to provide.?
