Americans helping Ukraine's war efforts say the US hasn't done enough
For U.S. philanthropist Amed Khan, America's has mismanaged the war in Ukraine
KHARKIV, Ukraine (AP) — Each time U.S. philanthropist Amed Khan returns to Ukraine, he begins by offering condolences for those killed in the war since his last trip. Over the past two and a half years, his group has provided over $50 million in aid to civilians and soldiers fighting to survive Russia’s invasion.
Some of those are already dead.
For Khan, a U.S. government official turned philanthropist, those he supports are like family. He travels to meet them on the front lines and in war-torn cities. His closeness to those enduring the war also exposes him to the pain and loss they experience first-hand.
“When you’re involved with people directly, you feel the pain of war,” he says, moments after meeting a father who survived a bombing that killed his son.
