Cargolux pledges millions to support Ukraine

Cargolux will donate EUR 1 million each to UNICEF and the UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, as well as EUR 500.000 to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). An additional EUR 1 million will also be distributed amongst initiatives by local organizations and communes at Cargolux’ home base in Luxembourg.
