 As you hear this message, in Ukraine the Russian invasion is threatening the lives and livelihoods of innocent civilians across the country. Heavy fighting, shelling and airstrikes are having devastating consequences. Homes have been destroyed, essential services disrupted, families have been separated and sadly lives are being lost. At Ukraine's borders, huge numbers of people are arriving with only what they can carry. There are long waits to leave the country and few facilities waiting for them on the other side. Temperatures at night fall to below freezing. This is a genuine emergency. The Disasters Emergency Committee in Wales is appealing urgently for our help. Our support will help to scale up the responses of organisations working in Ukraine and help provide families with food, water, medical assistance and protection. The Welsh Government has already made £4 million available to the deck to help the people of Ukraine. If you are able to, please give what you can. A cash donation can make a real difference on the ground today. For more information about how to donate please visit deck.org.uk. With your help we can support the people in Ukraine. Diolch yn fawr.
