On the ground in Ukraine with ReliefAid

From Nights, 10:18 pm on 14 April 2025

It's been more than three years since Russia's invasion of Ukraine began. Despite repeated attempts to broker a ceasefire, a lasting peace still seems a long way off.

Since the early days of the war in 2022, New Zealand-founded organisation ReliefAid has been working on the ground in Ukraine, providing emergency aid and reconstruction materials-particularly in hard-hit areas like Kharkiv.

ReliefAid's Founder and Executive Director, Mike Seawright, is currently in Ukraine and joins Nights.
