The Road to Ukraine: “If we want to live, we must win”

Export Maker had the honour of supporting a shipment of hospital supplies to Ukraine. Read our brief story about it.

Tuomas Metsola and his childhood friend Jupe took on a heartfelt mission for Apua Ukrainaan ry in Jyväskylä. This month, they transported a load of hospital supplies to a sanatorium near Dnipro. Mäntykoti Ry from the Oulu region generously donated items like hospital beds, wheelchairs, and medical supplies. Using a light truck and trailer, the journey took 10 days and covered just over 5.000 kilometres.

The men decided to embark on the trip to Ukraine because they were frustrated with the slow support for Ukraine coming from the West.

“We don’t think of ourselves as tough guys, far from it. Our trip was like a Sunday school outing compared to what Ukrainians face every day. There’s a real danger that the war there is slipping into the background, and people are losing interest. There’s talk of ‘war fatigue’ in the West, which I find incomprehensible. We can’t get tired of a war that isn’t happening here. We don’t have to fear air raids, missiles, or the possibility of a loved one dying on the front line.”
