How to help Ukraine
These organisations work in Ukraine or with people who fled it. Look at each one yourself before you give.
Give money
Emergency aid, first aid and support for people hit by strikes across Ukraine.
Psychological support for children affected by the war.
The UN refugee agency: shelter and support for people forced from their homes.
A non-profit based in the US that sends humanitarian aid.
The Ukrainian government's official fundraising platform. You choose where the money goes, and the options include defence, medical aid and rebuilding.
Other ways to help
- Tell your representatives. Find your Member of the European Parliament or write to your national parliament.
- Help refugees near you. Many towns in Europe have local groups that need volunteers, housing, language help and work.
- Follow reporting from Ukraine. Try the Kyiv Independent.
- Share this site. Send it to someone who thinks the war is far away.
If you are in Russia
Don't donate. Russian courts have treated donations to Ukrainian causes as treason. In 2024 a court sentenced a woman to 12 years in prison over a donation of about $50 to a Ukrainian aid charity (The Moscow Times).
Если вы находитесь в России, не делайте пожертвований: российские суды рассматривают их как госизмену.
