Some reputable links to help Ukrainian military & civilians
- https://savelife.in.ua/en/
Charity fund Come Back Alive that supports soldiers on front lines and after service.
- https://voices.org.ua/en/
Charitable Foundation Voices of Children, mostly with focus on mental health and development of children in Lughansk and Donetsk region.
- https://www.peoplesproject.com/en/
Ukraine’s military and civil crowdfunding.
You can also donate directly to Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, for logistical or medical support. More info here: https://mil.gov.ua/en/donate.html
Please do not ignore individual calls for aid and crowdfunding too! Whether they come in form of patreon links, emergency commissions, etc. I’d say setting up a patreon account to support creators and people in need would be the surest way to help, since things like PayPal, Ko-Fi, CashApp etc do not work in Ukraine (although some people still use them through friends or relatives in different countries). Not all circumstances are dire enough to need organizational help, but even 10$ can really help an individual person who had to evacuate from their town, relocate from a damaged building, etc.
Last but not least: CHECK YOUR INFO SOURCES!! Russia has been on disinformation pipeline since last week, and sowing panic in Ukraine and around the world is one of the worst things to do right now. Like, for real, stop with the WW3 bullshit. The conflict as it is, while obviously hard for Ukraine, is fairly localized and with your help it can very much stay that way.
And do check any source before you donate to it! I think these links are trustworthy (unlike some of the ones I mistakenly posted earlier) but on the internet caution is always the watchword. Especially when you’re trying to help people with money, sadly.
