Jarmo Koskela is preparing his sixth emergency transport to Ukraine.

This time it's a fire truck that will be loaded full of medical supplies, animal feed and warm clothes.

The items are donated in collaboration with Operation Aid, one of the new volunteer organizations.

Jarmo has roots in Finland and relatives who defended themselves against Russia during the Finnish Winter War, and feels solidarity with the people of Ukraine.

He is aware of the security risks when driving into Ukraine, and keeps an appropriate distance from the front.

Corruption common in aid work to Ukraine

The challenges are many for the new voluntary volunteer aid that has appeared after the outbreak of war.

Organizations such as Operation Aid, Blågula Bilen, Swedish Rescuers, and others believe that they reach out in an efficient way with emergency aid.

Kolbäck resident Jarmo Koskela testifies at the same time that there is widespread corruption.

Among other things, it happens that people on the border with Ukraine receive donations which they then sell inside the country.

- There are many people who want to do business.

But the Swedish organizations do not do that.

They make an effort to have control that things get where they need to go, says Jarmo Koskela.
