On April 9, 2025, the ambassador of Zakarpattia, head of the organization “Feman” and adviser to the Slovak children's ombudsman Eduard Burash organized the delivery of a large consignment of humanitarian aid to the Chernihiv region.
The initiative arose after an appeal from Mykola Zhuravlov, a colonel in the Ukrainian armed forces, who reported a critical situation in the village of Chaikyne in the Chernihiv region. The settlement is under shelling, and 90 children still live there who need food, hygiene products and other essentials.
Burash's partners – Natalia Aleksandrova and Volodymyr-Franz von Habsburg – as well as the organization “Smile as a Gift”, represented by Boleslav Lesho and Boleslav Drab, took part in assembling the humanitarian cargo. Help was also provided by Anna Ivankova of GKCh Košice, Marcel Vrhota, Peter Jelen, Peter Roman, Gabica Jelenova and others.
The truck delivered beds, mattresses, hygiene products, cleaning products and food. The aid was organized through partners from the “Ukrainian House of Charity” under the patronage of Franz Volodymyr von Habsburg. In Uzhhorod, the cargo was transferred to another truck for further transport. Arsen Melkumyan, a deputy of the Uzhhorod city council, and employees of “Nova Poshta” assisted with the transfer.
The customs and border services of Slovakia and Ukraine promptly processed the necessary documents, which allowed the border to be crossed without obstacles.
