Ways to support Ukraine 🇺🇦

More than 500,000 people have already left Ukraine due to the invasion by the Russian Federation. The European Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management estimates that roughly 18 million Ukrainians will be affected by the conflict in humanitarian terms, with 7 million internally displaced and 4 million seeking refuge elsewhere. To help those still in Ukraine, as well as Ukrainian refugees, we’ve compiled this list of resources.

HelpUkraineWin.org has a collection of vetted and trusted resources, charities, and organizations to help Ukraine.

Some additional ways to donate:

Vostok SOS provides immediate evacuation support.

Malteser International provides essentials for Ukrainian refugees.

Ukraine Crisis Media Center provides fundraising links and a list of tips for sharing information.

Misinformation spreads fast on social media. It is more important than ever to share accurate, verifiable news and information. Here are some resources to learn how to identify misinformation:

This link from the nonprofit WITNESS shares tips for identifying authentic video sources (available in English, Spanish, Ukranian, Russian, and Arabic).

These visual verification tips, also from WITNESS, provide information on verifying images and videos (available in English and Spanish).

This interview with NPR contains tips for identifying fake TikToks.

if you're from Ukraine, you have a uterus and don't want to be pregnant:

1. First of all AVOID AT ANY COST people and sites that have the name of "Ordo Iuris" or "pro-prawo do życia" (translate: pro-life). If you see a logo of fetus inside a heart, run.

Pro-prawo do życia foundation informed that one woman from Ukraine contacted them, asking for abortion. She barely spoke polish, which they admitted without any shame, that's why she thought that if they talk about abortion, they can provide it. They informed that they "explained children are not killed in Poland" and that now she's "in a safe place where no harm can come to her and her baby". I don't have words for how fucking inhuman it is to manipulate traumatized woman into carrying pregnancy she's not ready for since she's a refugee with no finances.

2. If you need abortion, contact:

Aborcyjny Dream Team

Ciocia Basia (abortion in Berlin; they can be found on facebook and theor email is [email protected])/ Ciocia Czesia (abortion in Czech Republic)

Abortion without borders (all of the above cooperate with them)

They will give you information on how to perform safe abortion with right medicaments or will help to travel abroad.

3. If anyone would try to threat you, remember than in Poland it is still legal to do abortion yourself, that's why it's mostly done with pills. Don't let them manipulate you. Fuck these people. You're not evil for needing abortion.

Please, help me spread this message and translate it in Ukrainian, please

Okay, I'm going to keep this short.

This invasion is not about the US. What Russia is doing is wrong. Not all Russian citizens should be condemned for their government's actions. Ukrainian people deserve support. There is so much misinformation out there and I encourage you to look into things further or ask actual Ukrainian blogs on Tumblr. World War 3 memes aren't funny. Don't send hate to every Russian blog on Tumblr. Try to educate with thorough research and double check facts and elevate Ukrainian voices.

You should stand with Ukraine. I don't care which party you support and I don't care who you voted for in 2020. It doesn't matter. Support Ukraine and check your facts. Listen to the first-hand experience of Ukrainians. Stand with Ukrainian people.

This entire Russian-Ukrainian conflict is a complex situation because each side is reporting different things while the American media is running in the back on fire screaming ‘WAAAAAR!’ And Americans can’t see anything but their own propaganda that has been trying to ‘predict’ the Russian invasion for a week now, failing every time. But however this entire thing goes, this is what you need to know motherfuckers:

Do not fucking go and start hating Russians. Do not fucking go and start hating Ukrainians. Do not fucking go and start hating Russians while protecting Ukrainians and vice-versa.

If it doesn’t reach your mind that normal people cannot affect what’s happening, and that the governments (Russian, Ukrainian, Republican, American) and NATO are to blame, then I am telling you this right now.

Don’t you dare fucking go and project Putin’s actions onto innocent people that live in Russia. Don’t do the same thing to Ukrainians. Normal people don’t want war, on either side.

[woodfrogs]

btw I've seen a few people say this so friendly reminder that the country is not "the Ukraine" but simply "Ukraine," with no article. That is the official name of the country and has been since its independence from the Soviet Union. Using "the" suggests that it's not its own sovreign nation and simply a region, and has been explicitly stated as grammatically incorrect by the Ukranian embassy. Not to mention the way it disrespects Ukranian independence by referring to them in the same manner as they were under Soviet rule, when they've asked to say otherwise.

Along a similar line, it is Kyiv (Ukranian transliteration), not Kiev (Russian) and Donbas in the Ukrainian, not Donbass. These are small details, but they do mean a lot to Ukranians when you are speaking about their independence. Дякую!

There are Russian citizens who understand that Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is wrong, and they are showing up & showing out.

👉🏿 https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-cracks-down-home-front-its-troops-invade-ukraine-2022-02-24/

For all the tankies and misguided “leftists” who somehow think that backing Putin is the way to show how “pure” their “communism” is—THIS is how you do it. THIS is how you rise up. These Russian protesters aren’t talking shit, while hiding behind a keyboard, in the safety of a country that’s safely not being invaded. These Russian citizens are openly protesting Putin’s war and their own government. They are putting it all on the line and literally risking everything to protest Putin’s imperialism. They are showing solidarity with the people of Ukraine.

Bravo. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Bravo. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Stand With Ukraine 🇺🇦

[deadpresidents]

This would be a good time to remember that when Donald Trump was impeached for the first time, it was for withholding $400 million in military aid for Ukraine -- which was already fighting Russian aggression -- to force Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to investigate false claims about Trump’s political opponents.

That military assistance that President Trump held back from Ukraine for 84 days included “sniper rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, night vision goggles, medical aid and other equipment the Ukrainian military needed to fight a grinding war against Russian-backed separatists”. 

I’m sure nobody has forgotten that, but every time I see a new story about Trump praising Vladimir Putin, as he has done THIS week, I think it’s important to recall that he also extorted Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who is literally fighting for his life while leading Ukraine against Russia.

If i see one more American joking about a war breaking out, I'm just gonna fucking dropkick them out the window.

It's easy to joke around when you're all the way on the other side of the globe isn't it? Well. It's much less fun when you're in direct proximity of Ukraine.

"oh it's just jokes" then where's the punchline. Where does the funny start bc i don't see it. Please tell me.

"it's a way of coping" YOU'RE IN AMERICA.

[myvalzpival]

one more thing. please, remember that Russia has its spies lurking everywhere on the internet. and i'm not saying this as in "watch out, mr. Bond, they're after you!", it's more as in "remember they were able to tilt the US election and destabilize the whole western society by spreading misinformation on Facebook".

we are joking about Tumblr being dead, but it's not. we're here. and with us, porn bots are still here. nazis are still here. and with them, pro-russia figures and anons will always be here too.

and just to be clear, what i'm saying is NOT to suddenly harrass and block all russian people on this website.

what i'm saying is to

1) watch your back.

2) always check your facts.

3) don't trust just anyone and don't trust just anything you read here.

4) i know it's tiring, but if you can, correct misinformation.

you can make fun of Facebook anti-vaxxers and qanons as you want, but Tumblr people are extremely prone to believe the first thing they read in here just because someone says "i'm Ukrainian, so i know what's going on!"

check your facts. question everything. don't give in to the Russian propaganda. not this time.

Dear followers,

As you may know I'm Ukrainian. And Ukraine is being at war with Russia for 8 years. They invaded us, they annexed Crimea, they now declared so-called DNR and LNR "independent" right after sending in their troops to support "peace" (peace my a*s). The situation is getting worse.

I ask you simply to support Ukraine, share information, protest against Russia and donate to Ukrainian charities, such as Повернись Живим (here)

💛💙

To my Ukrainian followers, stay safe and strong 🇺🇦

Love you all❤️

TO UKRAINIAN FRIENDS

If you are looking for an emergency exit from Ukraine, Poland will open EIGHT safety points on the border with Ukraine (you will get warm food, medical help and from there you will be guided to safety) in two of our voivodeships: lubelskie and podkarpackie. It is confirmed by the Polish Secretary of State in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, Paweł Szefernaker.

Today these monsters hit my closest metro station. The place we hid in before getting away to another city. The place I went to go to my lyceum, then uni. The place I could see with my closed eyes. The metro station keeps working but the streets are covered with broken glass.

I used to meet my friends and family here. I walked on this street everyday to get home from the lyceum and uni. I would buy groceries here with my grandma and I would buy her flowers here for the holidays. I used to stand near the station and buy me some coffee. I used to have a crush on a girl giving out brochures near the station. I used to walk my dog there. This is my home. And now it's ruined. It's nothing that we can't fix but it breaks my heart to look at these pictures.

My dad slept on the floor in the walkthrough this night. I started doing this when I was in the city. Now only dad is left there. He refused to leave the city. And he said that after the bomb hit the metro station, our house was shaking like it wanted to walk away. If he slept on his bed near the windows, he would have died from fear.

I miss my home. I want to go home. I want to rebuild my streets and to help other people. I want to kill russians. Petition to rename silent majority into silent slaughterers.
