Скачать или смотреть Spokane doctor enters Ukraine to help war refugees

Dr. Kyle Varner of Providence Holy Family is on the ground in Lviv, Ukraine as people flee the Russian invasion further west in the country.

More than two million Ukrainians are running away from their homes to escape the war. Others live in fear every day as Russian troops close on the capital. One Spokane doctor is currently in Eastern Europe seeing what Ukrainians are experiencing.

Dr. Kyle Varner flew to Poland on Sunday, wanting to be on the ground and to help refugees. Varner traded in his title as a hospitalist at the Holy Family Hospital for a war zone. Heading to Eastern Europe was his choice, deciding to work with non-governmental agency MedGlobal.

On Friday, Varner was in Lviv, Ukraine. Since he arrived earlier in the week, he's been going between the Ukraine and Poland border to help wherever he can.

Varner delivered medical supplies to people in need, which he said Ukrainians were grateful for. The medical supplies were donated from Providence and other companies, which Varner estimates cost between $30,000 to $50,000.

"They were really, really happy to receive them. The supplies from Providence along with a couple of other companies that gave me some supplies, really helpful there. Their supply chains are really stressed" Varner said of Ukraine.
