Due to the crisis in Ukraine that started on February 24, 2022, a number of Belgian companies wish to provide material assistance by sending goods to Ukrainian citizens who have remained on the spot or who have fled to other countries. Other donations can also be distributed among the Ukrainians who, due to the crisis, are being received in Belgium.
