How to help the people of Ukraine (updated)

We posted this recently but here is a repost (with new additions) of how to help the people of Ukraine.

One of the fastest ways to get money into Ukrainian citizens is by booking AirBnb bookings.  That money goes to the Ukrainian landlord in near-real-time.  We posted about that here and here are some direct links.



Below is what we posted previously on helping Ukraine:

Below is a compressive list written from Ukrainians themselves on how to help the Ukrainians both militarily and as refugees and more.  We copy the information verbatim below:

RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR: INFO AND WAYS TO HELP

Information on the conflict

In the culmination of the ongoing 8-years-long war between Russia and Ukraine, Russia has declared that it recognizes the "people's republics" in Donbas as "independent". This move is meant as the setup to jeopardize years of diplomatic negotiations around the conflict and disrupt peace in the region.

Prior to the recognition, pro-Kremlin channels have spread false justifications for the ongoing war. In a speech announcing the recognition, Putin blamed Ukrainians themselves for the escalation, calling it “a colony with puppets at its helm.”

Russia has declared a full-scale invasion early in the morning of February 24th.

And the Daily Mail publishes this list of how to help Ukraine:

The Daily Mail, Mail on Sunday and MailOnline UKRAINE REFUGEE APPEAL

Readers of Mail Newspapers and MailOnline have always shown immense generosity at times of crisis.

Calling upon that human spirit, we are now launching an appeal to raise money for refugees from Ukraine.

For, surely, no one can fail to be moved by the heartbreaking images and stories of families – mostly women, children, the infirm and elderly – fleeing from Russia's invading armed forces.

As this tally of misery increases over the coming days and months, these innocent victims of a tyrant will require accommodation, schools and medical support.

All donations to the Mail Ukraine Appeal will be distributed to charities and aid organisations providing such essential services.

In the name of charity and compassion, we urge all our readers to give swiftly and generously.
