The CFP-E, of which APCP is a member, expresses its deep solidarity with the Ukrainian advertising film producers and service providers and the entire Ukrainian society, victims of the ongoing military intervention by Russia.
Ukraine is a very dynamic country for filming and creating advertising content. We, producers from all over Europe, are used to working with Ukrainian men and women with whom we have developed strong professional and friendly ties.
Our thoughts are with our Ukrainian colleagues and friends whom we accompany in this terrible tragedy.
Producers and associations in Europe have come together, and together we are working on a plan of initiatives to help.
In addition, Kiev based production company Radioaktive has moved its production base to the Polish office it shares with Twentyfour Seven, and together the two companies have announced that all profits from their joint venture will be donated to Ukrainian causes until the crisis caused by the Russian attack is resolved.
“As an industry, we have a moral obligation to help in any way we can. And judging by all the conversations I know are taking place, we will.”
Action for Ukraine – One Point four
I think all of us are heartbroken by this situation. If you want to help, the easiest way is through donations to international agencies operating on the ground. UNICEF, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and the International Committee of the Red Cross are deployed both in Ukraine and in neighbouring countries that are receiving large numbers of refugees.
In addition, here are some other options:
Save the Children España: At least 7.5 million children in Ukraine are at serious risk of physical harm, severe emotional disruption and displacement. At least ten children are known to have already died as a result of attacks.
Razom: A volunteer charity founded in 2014 that is providing medical supplies.
United Help Ukraine: Collects donations to provide emergency medical assistance and humanitarian aid.
Sunflower of peace: Provides first aid kits to paramedics and frontline doctors.
Voices of Children: Provides psychological support to children affected by conflict.
Ucramarket (C/ Méndez Álvaro, 8): Behind Madrid’s Atocha station. They are collecting food, warm clothes and medicines to send to their fellow refugees in Poland and Romania. They also need trucks and volunteers to move the humanitarian boxes. The Ukrainian Association Euskadi in the Basque Country is offering its services to help the Ukrainians. Also La Hermandad del Gran Poder in Seville.
Nova Ukraine: It provides the Ukrainian population with everything from baby food and hygiene products to clothing and household supplies.
People in Need:A on-governmental, non-profit organisation based in Prague. Provides assistance to more than 200,000 people on the ground. Those most in need receive food parcels, shelter, clean water, hygiene items and charcoal for heating.
CARE International: This humanitarian agency is sending food, hygiene products and psychological support services to Ukrainians affected by the conflict.
