Help Ukraine during the war

Waking up from the «war has begun» message, 24/7 checking whether your family and friends are safe, trying to get some sleep on the floor in a metro station or in a bomb shelter, hearing warning alarms and helping our army: this is a new kind of routine for Ukraine.

If you feel that you can help, please, read an article below. This war in Ukraine is a war in Europe. And your help matters.

Here is a short guide on what you can do from abroad. Every little action counts, as far as the global good depends on each of us.

Here is a comment from a Ukrainian girl, living in Warsaw:

Although the daily protests in Warsaw continue since the first day of invasion, they are getting less attention and coverage, both Polish people and Ukrainians living here are putting efforts into other ways of helping:

Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, almost 1 mln people have been forced to leave their homes. More than half of them (around 575,100 by 03.03.) went to Poland. Volunteers and charity organizations assist women and children crossing the border now, offering temporary shelters, providing health care and transportation either around the country or further west.

Citizens liable for military service continue to return to Ukraine and by now more than 50,000 Ukrainians (mostly men aged 18 to 60) came from abroad through Poland. They are offered help and transportation through the border.

Poles and their government never fail to highlight their admiration of Ukrainian army and society, and do support their words with actions. Apart from being active on the international arena, promoting sanctions against Putin’s regime, they also send military ammunition and humanitarian aid through a growing net of hubs around the country.

On the 3rd of March EU granted Ukrainian citizens and residents the right to live on the territory of EU, to work and receive health care, housing and education starting immediately.
