From Europe to Ukraine

Before reaching Ukraine, the convoy will travel through several European cities*.

The Southern Route, the most defined so far, will depart from Barcelona and pass through France (Perpignan, Lyon), Switzerland (Geneva), Germany and Poland; the Central Route will depart from the United Kingdom (London), passing through Belgium (Brussels), Germany and Poland; the Northern Route will depart from Norway, passing through Sweden and Poland.

At each stop we will organize public meetings, discussions and solidarity events together with trade unions, NGOs, feminist organizations, environmental movements, LGBTIAQ+ organizations and other democratic initiatives.

These meetings will help expand an international network of solidarity while collecting support for the final stage of the mission in Ukraine.

*Routes are preliminary and subject to change.

More than humanitarian aid

Ukraine is not only defending its own territory.

Ukraine is defending the principles that should govern relations between states: democracy, human rights, international law and the right of peoples to determine their own future.

Supporting Ukraine means defending these principles everywhere.

The most relevant to the most vulnerable

Our task is to bring what will be the most relevant, what cannot be bought in Ukraine.

We are actively talking with our beneficiaries in order to approve the current list of the aid.

In the face of the 2026-2027 winter, the convoy will focus on providing generating equipment, medical supplies and transport.

All aid supplied with be cleared with the relevant Ukrainian authorities for entry to Ukraine.
