U24 projects I have donated to in the past year have been removing land mines from farmland, and defensive systems to deal with incoming drone attacks.
U24 projects I have donated to in the past year have been removing land mines from farmland, and defensive systems to deal with incoming drone attacks.
Safe Passage for Ukraine (helping people evacuate and wounded foreign fighters to return home; can donate airline miles not just cash): https://sp4ukraine.org
Note: DO NOT donate to K9 Global, UWARF (aka. Ukraine War Animals Relief Fund) or MARS (Mobile Animal Rescue Service later Medical Aid and Rescue Service) ; there are reports that they are falsely claiming the work of others as their own.
=> Also 'Protect A Volunteer' has some allegations that it's a scam. <=
You may want to consider supporting YouTube and similar channels directly (Patreon, if they're selling stuff, etc) as there seem to be some efforts to get their channels 'demonetized'.
If you know any Ukrainians (displaced or otherwise), give them the following info:
Register of Damage for Ukraine (European Union site so russia can be charged / fined for the damage they caused and victims compensated; this in part will help justify giving seized russian money to Ukraine): https://rd4u.coe.int/en/documents(also in Ukrainian: https://rd4u.coe.int/uk/documents )
Beware of lighters, power banks, flashlights, or other devices in de-occupied areas because they could be rigged with explosives. There have also been stories of booby trapped teddy bears and even animals left in booby trapped closets.
If you or someone you know is in a situation where unknown persons demand money for the "liberation" of a relative from captivity, immediately contact the United Center for the Search and Release of Prisoners: +38 067 650-83-32, +38 098 087-36-01
