At the First Humanitarian Forum «Kazan for Its People», the Mayor of the
city Ilsur Metshin supported the idea of establishing a coordinating council to
unite humanitarian organizations and the register of humanitarian workers in
Kazan.
About 150 activists, manufacturers of goods for the special military
operation, representatives of enterprises and organizations of the city, and military
attended the forum.
«We will support you in this
effort. I propose that we organize this process systematically and combine all
efforts into a vast and beautiful ocean of support for our fighters. There are
several things that we can do today», – the Mayor said to the participants.
Anna Artemyeva, a co-founder of the humanitarian movement, who has sent
over 500 tons of supplies with her volunteers, suggested creating a list of
trusted humanitarian organizations.
Roza Gilmurova, the director of the Nefis Charitable Foundation, spoke
about the support provided to the families of deceased participants in the
military operation. This year, approximately 650 tons of humanitarian
assistance were sent to these families. Additionally, 34 trucks carrying
humanitarian aid were shipped to new areas and evacuated residents.
«We need to establish a coordinating body that can determine priorities.
It is essential to prepare and provide warm clothing before winter», – the Mayor noted.
Together with residents of Kazan, the head of the «For Victory! Kazan»
movement, Evgenia Kotsar, also provides humanitarian assistance to soldiers
with 80 volunteers. Over two years, they have sent more than 500 tons of cargo to
the special operation area.
Evgenia has shared the idea of creating a cadet school with a swimming
pool, gym, and classrooms for the children of soldiers.

in every
area of the city. They
are comfortable and renovated. You can conduct
similar classes there.
We have
qualified professional teachers who
work with
children», –
the Mayor suggested.

Matryoshka movement, to create a volunteer book.
