How to help Ukraine now
Russia’s invasion has caused around 12 million Ukrainians to flee their homes, including around 5 million who have left their country. Many charitable organizations are involved in the humanitarian effort to help these refugees. Individuals and groups are doing what they can to help, such as by decorating eggs. Inevitable scammers also try to profit from this tragic situation. We recommend some established organizations that are experienced in assisting refugees:
