I personally donated to the National Bank of Ukraine’s fundraising account to support the armed forces of Ukraine at https://ukraine.ua/news/donate-to-the-nbu-fund/
The web page contains the necessary info to make a money transfer in USD, GBP, EUR or UAH to bank accounts in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, or Ukraine.
An alternative bank account of the Ukrainian government is listed at https://ukraine.ua/news/support-the-armed-forces-of-ukraine/
COME BACK ALIVE is a charity that supports Ukraine’s armed forces and donations can be made at https://savelife.in.ua/en/donate/
Donations for purely humanitarian aid can be given for example to Nova Ukraine at https://novaukraine.org/

Well, if it’s a charity that doesn’t get shut down and the money sent somewhere else, it means we probably are being lied to and are on the wrong side and just don’t know it. Ever since Canada I’m very suspicious about stuff like that. =P
I’m surprised to see Sandra & Woo mention this ordeal. It’s very sad.
I need a playful Racoon to cheer me up! ^^
I usually disapprove of authors wasting their “please, please buy our product” money, but this is for a good cause instead of a “media pity crocodile tears” cause. None of those people are in that situation through their own foolishness, and there is no reason for Russia to annex the Ukraine- for Russia or the Ukraine.

The problem is: there’s no issue with money in Ukraine. There’s limited amount of gas available, and some shops cannot replenish their stocks of groceries, but that’s about it for the common people. And supporting their military is like adding oil to a fire. They don’t have a chance, they will surrender within a day or two. Then it all will be over, and then.. then some people will need money, maybe some small business owners, but not their military forces.
@ Nonsens:
I look forward to the day when you are forced to eat your words.
Once Ukraine was a nuclear power. If it still was, Putin would never have dared.
@ AnotherBear:
Ukraine WAS a nuclear power, they completely denuclearized in a deal with the US after the cold war. The deal was that they would dispose of their nukes, and in trade the US would guaranty their freedom and sovereignty. and now the best the US can do is thoughts and prayers, because Ukraine’s enemy IS a nuclear power that has China as an ally. just wonderful how international politics work
@ The_General1005:
Thing is… Putin would NEVER had agreed to an Ukraine in the NATO. It would be akin to the Cuban missile crisis… the action taken by Putin are perfectly foreseeable.
Nah, think I’ll just put some yellow and blue lights on my door: that’s way cheaper.
@ The_General1005:
The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances was hardly just a deal with the US, it was a deal with all the major nuclear powers including the UK, France, China and of course the Russian Federation. They all agreed to give security assurances against threats or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan (also no economic coercion either). Russia’s excuse is that Ukraine is not the same state that they signed the deal with. Whilst other parties have differing views, the treaty (deliberately) carries no obligations to intervene (it never would have been signed if it had), so they’re not going to do any military intervention.
As they say “terms and conditions may apply”.
@ HTMangaka:
What about Canada?
@ Tyxerus:
Canada: Two separate fundraising efforts, each raising about $10M, to benefit a trucker protest against continued Covid mandates (like vaccine passports and forced vaccinations) were seized and /or frozen by Canadian banks and the Canadian govt. That’s the short version, ask if you want a more accurate and detailed version.
Can’t believe you felt the need to prove you donated. What a world.
I hate Putin, but I also hate the US, which is the world champion of invading small countries with no good excuse, being hypocritical about the situation. And poor Ukraine is caught in the middle.
I think I agree with the commenters who’d rather support civilians than soldiers, though. Not sure about the argument that it’s too soon for that. I guess I’ll have to do some research.
Sorry, but I have to close the comment sections. Russian nationalists and/or state-sponsored trolls have found it and I don’t want my website to become a platform for their propaganda.
