Johansen himself helped send needed items such as dry food, canned goods, diapers and baby food to Ukraine before Christmas.
The post office and the Ukrainian embassy reported on Tuesday that the post office in Poland is full after a massive influx of parcels recently. Now they are asking Norwegians to wait until after Christmas with new shipments, according to NTB.
Now Johansen pays tribute to the efforts made.
– Dear all! Good pre-Christmas news: So many people have been sending parcels to Ukraine that the reception center in Poland is now full, Johansen writes on Facebook and adds:
So, to those of you who still have the desire and opportunity to contribute: We now need to take a short break. But since the new year there is again both an opportunity and a great need for help.
Oslo’s top political leader also has a message for the capital’s residents who have contributed to the effort:
– Dear Oslo, and all of you throughout Norway who have been sending food parcels, diapers, woolen clothes and other basic necessities to a people in need. It means so much that we show solidarity, that those in the midst of a cruel war know that we remember them and stand with them: thank you so much for standing up, he writes.
