Olena Stokoz, deputy director general of the humanitarian charity, outlined the current situation in Kyiv while hiding in her house.The royal family’s contribution will be seen as a significant boost for the charity appeal ‘A couple of minutes ago we had a missile hitting civil houses, which is why I’m a bit scared.‘The most difficult areas, the hottest spots, in Ukraine are in the east, the north, the south and of course in Kyiv.
‘Other groups of people are trying to leave their homes and migrate either to safer places inside Ukraine or outside Ukraine.’ Every pound donated by the UK public will be matched by the Government through its Aid Match scheme, up to the value of £20 million.
