Russia is waging an unprovoked and vicious war against Ukraine. Millions of people got displaced, tens of thousands of people lost their loved ones and once beautiful Ukrainian cities are getting razed to the ground.
Barbaric Russian occupiers are facing fierce resistance from Ukrainians, who are not willing to lose their independence, culture, national identity and their lives to pathetic Russian imperialism.
I, like millions of other Ukrainians, cannot stay idle in this situation.
I’ve created UAHelp.me, a curated list of resources to help Ukraine and its people. Here’s how you can help Ukraine:
I first wrote this in April 2022. I checked every link again on 4 September 2026. Donate through the organisations’ own sites, because payment details change.
Help the Ukrainian army
Helping the armed forces of Ukraine is one of the most meaningful ways to contribute to Ukrainian victory. The sooner Ukraine defeats the invasion, the sooner the suffering ends.
- Come Back Alive supports Ukraine’s defence forces. You can give to the army directly or to the foundation itself.
- KOLO is a fund run by Ukraine’s tech community. It buys what the defence forces ask for.
Medical and humanitarian help
- Leleka Foundation sends medical supplies to first responders and hospitals.
- UNITED24 is Ukraine’s official fundraising platform. You pick where your money goes.
Help refugees
UNHCR’s Ukraine help pages explain what help exists for displaced people inside Ukraine and for people leaving the country. If you know someone who needs it, send them the link.
Hire Ukrainians
If you have paid work, offer it. Be clear about the role, the location and the pay. Please don’t ask people who fled a war to work for exposure.
Help fight propaganda
Check where a claim, photo or fundraiser comes from before you share it. And keep talking about Ukraine after it leaves the front page.
Protest, sign petitions
Tell your elected representatives to keep supporting Ukraine. Go to local events and campaigns, as long as you know who runs them.
Help animals
- UAnimals rescues animals and campaigns for their welfare in Ukraine.
- Happy Paw supports shelters and homeless animals.
