When Russia launched its full-scale invasion on Ukraine last February, the Ukrainian Club of Kansas City knew it had to act. The community group came together to create Stand With Ukraine KC, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to providing aid for Ukrainians both here and abroad.
Local nonprofit Stand With Ukraine KC is hosting several public events this weekend to commemorate 365 days of Ukrainian resistance in the war against Russia.
The organization was formed by the Ukrainian Club of Kansas City in response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of the country one year ago.
“A lot of people in Kansas City were wanting to help,” Volodymyr Polishchuk, the organization's president, told Up To Date’s Steve Kraske on Thursday. “Kansas City is a very vibrant community of different cultures. And it's a very heartfelt community as well. So once people saw the crisis, they reached out.”
