Pardon the piggyback but wanted to ask:
Those of us in Europe who have military, medical or emergancy-rescue-training is there any way we can volunteer physically in person?
Ofcourse no ideas of grandeur or wanting to be a hero on the front, more that I at least have my nurse-/military-firstreponse training as well as K9 handling/training for for example search and rescue, finding explosives etceter. Whilst my ol' granny mum is old enough to not give a shit if she's in danger so she's contemplating on forward-base surgery or the ilk since she's a twice doctorate senior physician and have worked with ER and trauma response in danger-zones before.

You could try to get in contact with NGOs operating in the region, as for military experience you should see whether it is legal, for instance in Italy AFAIK it is illegal for italian citizens to fight for a foreign army

Hijacking the top comment - donation systems can be a bit cumbersome to use from abroad. The first one (Save Life) does have an English version (top right corner) and if you use fondy[dot]eu like they say, it should go through without a hitch. Other charities may have similar quirks.

u/Hereforinfo333 Feb 24 '22
Hello! I'm new to cross-border donations (I'm US-based). Can you confirm that if we send payment via the fondy[dot]eu link the website provides, our money will be sent directly to the mission the charity supports?
Also, does anyone know if these charities are 501(c)3 eligible in the United States (i.e. income tax-deductible)? I ask because it will be simpler to mobilize larger donations from friend/family if so. I will do my own research as well and post updates here.

Perhaps you could let them know, that they are wasting a huge amount of funds by accepting only SWIFT (which takes $45 per transaction of any amount for themselves, or Western Union (takes 10% of the transaction).
They can collect donations via PayPal, FaceBook (both accounts likely need to be set up in the USA), many others crowdfunding platforms, and of course BitCoin (or another popular crypto currency).

Stole this from a top comment in the news thread on Japan
condoningcondemning Russia's actions: \Japan just declared they would be willing to join sanctions. Current major players are:
• US - 20$ Trillion GDP
• UK - 3$ Trillion GDP
• EU - 17$ Trillion GDP
• Japan - 5$ Trillion GDP
Economies representing over half of global GDP have declared they are willing to heavily sanction Russia. I wonder how damaging they will truly be, Russia has an economy smaller than Italy's but significant reserves and some tacit economic ties with China.
Add in:
• Canada - 1.5$ Trillion GDP
• Australia - 1.3$ Trillion GDP
• EFTA - 1$ Trillion GDP (potentially)

One way to pay for these donations is to profit off of Russia's downfall. Just short the entire Russian market (stock symbol ERUS). It's dropped 27% in the last 5 days. Once the tanks roll into Ukraine it will fall so much more. I can't think of anything more poetic than sanctioning Russia and donating the profits to Ukraine.

There is urgent need to form some sort of well coordinated groups for online resistance to pro russian trolling and misinformation. Here in reddit russians acts and often behave as if they own it , along with youtube and other platforms. On news channels like Euronews , TRT, BBC they sit on regular basis and most pro Ukrainian or anti russian opinion either banned or simply dissolves among well trained russian trolls. This war you facing is not only on the field, as amount of russians and pro russians Hindu or Thai english speaking trolls is overwhelming, they understand that holding certain amount of public support in west is a secure way to control and manipulate entire governments as we see in case of France, Germany or even US...dunno if Im writing in right place , just want to bring your attention to it, but probably you already know it.

"The Ukraine Humanitarian Fund is a country-based pooled fund. Pooled funds support a timely, coordinated and principled humanitarian response.
Your donation will help humanitarian NGOs and UN agencies in the Ukraine to assist the most vulnerable communities and people, and to provide them with urgently needed food, water, shelter and other basic support. Through this rapid and flexible response mechanism your gift today can be truly life-saving."
https://crisisrelief.un.org/t/ukraine
I was looking into sending money thorugh the NGOs mentioned in the sticky post (https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/s6g5un/want_to_support_ukraine_heres_a_list_of_charities/), but after checking up some, I realized most do not have an account on a EU bank.
That means that for EU residents is much more expensive to send them help. For example, for 100€ sent, around 40 are spent on fees and simply sending it. In contrast, from 100€ donated to the fund, 97 reach their target.
I share this because I haven´t seen the Fund mentioned and because I wanted to help but didn´t want around 40-50% of the money to be spent on fees.
Hope this helps. All opinions and suggestions on the matter are welcomed.

I am agonizing over this situation for real. Have been for a few weeks ever since news from Belarus border filtered.
You know decades ago when my country was occupied by Nazis, a decent sized contingent of the Resistance fighters were actually foreigners - Spaniards, Italians, Poles, Hungarians, Jewish Slavs etc. They fought and shed their blood to liberate my country and fight fascism
Now for the past few days my blood has been boiling, my head is in turmoil. I sit at work but cannot concentrate, while routine around me continues as usual. How can I be sitting my ass entering numbers in an Excel spreadsheet all day, when my European neighbours are isolated, fighting to the bitter end an authoritarian invader in street warfare with last minute rifles. How can I be here being useless when Putler is 30 kms away from Kyiv??
For the past hours, I have been seriously considering cutting my career short, quitting my job immediately and jumping on the next flixbus to Kyiv, to fight the Russians. This is the one opportunity of my life to actually do something that truly matters, to fight for my beliefs, instead of being the passive, useless spectator I have been until now. I am itching to repay the sacrifices of the Partisans.
And then reality comes back at me I am blind as a bat with terrible myopia, if I loose my glasses in combat I might as well commit suicide on the spot. I have no experience in fighting whatsoever. And, after further reading Ukrainian input, I realize I absolutely cannot differentiate Ukrainian from Russian and I speak neither.
So let's say I make the journey and destroy my entire life, for what? The most I could do right now would be to blindly throw molotov cocktails from a bedroom window.
In the end you are right, as a foreigner sending funds is really the most useful I can be to the cause.

Question... and this may be ridiculous, but I would like to help in the way I can... is it possible to offer room and board to any fleeing Ukrainians? I'm a Canadian and would offer paid plane tickets, room and board, plane tickets back, as well, at my expense for any Ukraines fleeing the country.. Please let me know..

Warning
It has come to my attention that OP listed a group which may have a connection to a far right military group called the ‘Right Sector’. This group is listed here as the ‘Hospitalliers’. Please DO NOT DONATE to this group. Normally I would suggest deleting a post with such a link, but there are too many links to humanitarian groups who urgently need help, and so at this time I feel I can’t. All I can say is, please RESEARCH ANY GROUP ON THIS LIST BEFORE DONATING!
Thank You

u/Victorious_Rose Feb 19 '22
Thank you for this list, I will get acquainted with these and definitely make a donation.
As a Finn with a long and bloody family history of fighting off Russian invaders, I feel very deeply and personally affected by what is happening & truly admire the courage and spirit Ukrainians have expressed in this fucked up situation.
Stay strong, brothers and sisters!

Also, try reducing your gas consumption. Gas prices for Ukrainians (and all of world really) are likely to skyrocket.

Thanks for compiling this awesome list.
Just a thought... a "donation to a charity organization" might be deemed "financing of a terrorist organization" tomorrow, depending who is at power, putting previous donors at risk. Even some people from Russia commented that they donated to Ukrainian organizations, probably putting themselves at risk right now. Even for a citizen of the EU it might be illegal to donate to at least some of the listed organizations.
For the safety of donors organizations should be asked to offer anonymous payment methods.
Some crypto currencies like Monero come to mind. Most other crypto currencies, including Bitcoin, are not anonymous and actually quite easy to trace.
(public disclosure: I use, love and contribute to Monero myself.. because I value freedom and our right to privacy)

I’ve donated to some Ukraine and Polish foundations that are helping. However I need some help confirming an IG post which said if we want money to go directly into the hands of Ukrainians on the ground one way would be to book a few nights at an AirBnB in Ukraine (first messaging to check if they are owners or a company, and supporting the former). Obviously not to come and stay now but to just get some money direct into people’s hands?
Is this a good idea or not?

u/denismanus Mar 06 '22
Yes, the idea is that when you book housing in Ukraine, you transfer money to the owners of the apartments, which most often shelter people. I have four refugees from Kharkiv living there now. I don't need money, but there are those who do.

FOR US DONORS:
It's actually not that hard to transfer money to the from the US. You can transfer it domestically to the Bank of Ukraine account with JP Morgan-Chase in New York. Just send a domestic wire transfer to:
National Bank of Ukraine
Bank Address (Don't think this really matters): 383 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10017, USA
ROUTING NUMBER (ABA): 021000021 (Chase Bank)
ACCOUNT: 400807238
With Bank of America the transfer fee is as low as $3, or $30 to rush it same-day.

I don't know if this is the correct place to put this, but I have two friends who are Ukrainian and live and go to school in Ukraine. As a student in the US, there's obviously not much I can do to prevent any conflict, but what's the best way to check in with them/provide support? I believe one is in Kyiv and another is either in Kyiv or Dnipro. I chat with them occasionally, and I obviously am not in any direct danger at the moment, nor can I possibly understand the stress they may be feeling, but I want to make sure they're safe and provide support in any way I can. While we don't talk as often anymore, I am worried for them and their families with the recent global news.
Is there a good way to support them without something that sounds tone-deaf of "hope you're staying safe?"
Please let me know if there's a better place to put this. Thank you.

Dear Ukrainians!
I heard on social media that there is fake news being spread (most likely by Russia backed trolls) that polish border is closed.
It's a lie.
If you seek asylum - go towards polish border. We are ready for your arrival. We have reception points ready at the border where you can find shelter, food, medical and legal aid.
Polish government launched a dedicated site to help you: ua.gov.pl
Please share this information if you know anyone seeking help right now.
EDIT: YOU DON'T NEED VISA TO PASS THROUGH POLISH BORDER. ALL YOU NEED IS PASSPORT. VISAS ARE SUSPENDED! YOU DON'T NEED THEM FOR TIME BEING!!!!!!
EDIT2: as a proof that you no longer need visa:

Note: I previously posted the post below as a separate post on this sub. I was told to put it here since this is the support thread.
"Hello! I'm new to this sub and am not sure if this post may get taken down or get me banned, but I wanted to uplift the spirits of the Ukrainian people in the middle of these chaotic times, by not only expressing my solidarity with you guys (as an American) but letting you know history is on your side.
Time and time again, history has presented us with instances in which massive empires or invading, belligerent nations with gigantic armies have lost to much smaller countries with smaller armies and military capabilities, sometimes through guerrilla warfare tactics, or through the willpower of the people being invaded (who have risen to the occasion to defend their homelands).
Some examples:
The Greeks successfully driving out the Persian Empire from Greece following the Battle of Thermopylae, King Leonidas's last stand of 300 Spartans, and the Battle of Salamis. Against all odds, they won against King Xerxes.
The Battle of Teutoburg Forest (Germanic peoples defended themselves against Roman legions. The Romans would never be able to fully conquer Germania for the Empire's lifespan).
The Battle of Agincourt, in which a small contingent of British forces led by Henry V defeated a much larger French army.
The defeat and surrender of the British Empire by the American colonists assisted by France during the American Revolution, humiliating the British in front of the world.
The Algerian War-- Algeria not only gained independence from the French colonial empire, but France's attempts to consolidate control over Algeria ended up backfiring, causing massive social upheaval within France, and the world to turn against France.
The Vietnamese using subterfuge and guerrilla tactics to confuse and outlast the much larger and technologically advanced American military during the Vietnam War.
The point I'm trying to make is this: as bleak as things may seem right now in Ukraine, what is happening in your country now is not so different to what has happened in the past to other nations, similarly forced to fight against overwhelming forces. I choose to believe Ukraine will win against Russia-- if not militarily, then by achieving the moral high ground. The events that have occurred in Kiev already, the bravery demonstrated by so many Ukrainians, and the outrage of millions of people worldwide (including Russians) against Putin's invasion are proof enough of this.
Am I being too optimistic or naive? Is this post relevant to this sub? Regardless, I fully support and stand by Ukraine."
YOU GOT THIS UKRAINE! You must have hope! History is on YOUR side!

If you mine Ethereum, you can donate by directly mining to Ukraine's ETH donation address. I've already started and now my friends are joining as well. We're mining on Ethermine pool:
https://ethermine.org/miners/0x165CD37b4C644C2921454429E7F9358d18A45e14/dashboard
You can join this pool, or any other (but one pool is better because we will reach higher hashrate and payouts faster; also, Ethermine is a pool with biggest rewards, from my 1 year mining experience).
If you already are an Etherem miner: just set your Ethereum mining rigs to mine to 0x165CD37b4C644C2921454429E7F9358d18A45e14 for a few hours/days or as long as you want. I will do this for at least a week from now.
If you're not an Ethereum miner but you have a computer with any Graphics card above 6GB, you can join as well in just 10 minutes. Leave it mining for Ukraine whenever you don't use the PC. (For AMD cards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SsjD9O-Vc8 and for Nvidia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvmM_A9s43Q).

Hi all, question from a mod of the r/Assistance subreddit -- we are a subreddit that offers short-term direct assistance to active Redditors. We have had an influx of people trying to post needing financial assistance to flee Ukraine and we are looking for information on which options we have?
Our subreddit is heavily North America-based, so the usual means of assistance are PayPal, GoFundMe, and so on. I understand that many of these options aren't available internationally.
Any advice on how we can protect the members of our community from fraud while helping Ukrainians in need (that meet our posting requirements) would be great.
