Nassau County Executive Bruce
Blakeman has announced a gun collection for Ukrainian citizens fighting against
Russia forces.
The announcement comes as
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pleads for arms.
Zelenskyy has repeatedly said
his citizens are in dire need of weapons to protect themselves from Russian
forces invading their nation.
Residents will be able to
donate unloaded legal weapons to SP Firearms Unlimited located at 804 Hempstead
Turnpike, Franklin Square.
“We're not asking a lot. We're asking that you come to SP Firearms over the course of the next four days
and you contribute your weapon," says Blakeman.
Elsewhere, the Woodbury Jewish
Center, partnered with local officials today to collect supplies for Ukrainian
refugees.
