The “Senedd 4 Ukraine” initiative, a cross-party solidarity group from the Welsh Parliament (Senedd), has launched its latest mission to deliver vital aid to Ukraine. This convoy, comprising five vehicles to be donated upon arrival. The initiative is spearheaded by Mick Antoniw MS, Member of the Senedd for Pontypridd and a second-generation Ukrainian living in Wales. Since February 2022, Antoniw and his colleagues have organized 12 trips to Ukraine under the ‘Senedd 4 Ukraine’ banner, delivering a total of 30 vehicles and over £1 million in aid. Recipients have testified that this support has been invaluable and has saved lives.
The vehicles, packed to their limits, carry an array of essential supplies tailored to the needs of those on the front lines. The cargo includes critical medical equipment, comprehensive first-aid kits, camouflage suits for protection, numerous sleeping bags to combat the cold, and a range of other vital provisions. This carefully curated aid reflects the group’s dedication to addressing both immediate and sustained requirements in the conflict zone.
Funded through public contributions to the “Help for Ukraine – Needed Now More Than Ever” appeal, this mission underscores the power of collective generosity. The volunteer-organized fundraiser has enabled the purchase of the vehicles, fuel, and the critical supplies, ensuring each convoy reaches its destination with maximum impact. The effort builds on previous successes, reinforcing the Senedd’s role in fostering tangible solidarity.
