CLOSED: FRONTLINE VILLAGES

From July 2022 to July 2025 Sunflower supported older people in eight frontline villages in the Kharkiv, Kherson and Mykolaiv regions.

Sunflower team members were personally visiting villages within the 30 km zone and helping people. We never send other Ukrainian volunteers to take our aid to dangerous villages. We don’t ask them to risk their lives while we drink coffee in Edinburgh. It is immoral and wrong.

In 2025, Russian FPV drones turned frontline villages into kill-zones. Several volunteers (from other charities) were killed while bringing food to villages.

The risk of death in frontline villages has become too great.

As a result, we have decided to close this project down from July 2025. We have done a lot, having directly helped 8,340 people.

We urge all people from frontline villages to evacuate. We are helping DSNS emergency cervices and evac teams to evacuate civilians from the front.
