☆ just spreading some information/what i believe to be legitimate recourses :) let me know if anything needs to be changed or if i should add anything! ☆ i'll try to be actively updating this project as the situation changes/i find more resources ☆ sorry in advance if any of this is confusing, i tried to organize it best i could, 'specially considering its in the instructions box of a scratch project :sob: --- ☆ Information on the conflict: ✧ In the culmination of the ongoing 8-years-long war between Russia and Ukraine, Putin has declared that it recognizes the "people's republics" in Donbas as "independent" on Feb. 22. This move was meant as a set-up to jeopardize years of diplomatic negotiations around the conflict and disrupt peace in the country. ✧ 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.” ✧ Putin has declared a full-scale invasion early in the morning of Feb. 24. ☆ How can I help? ✧ There are multiple ways to help, from asking your government to provide assistance for Ukraine to donating and even directly participating as a volunteer. ⤷ https://kyivindependent.com/national/want-to-help-ukraines-military-as-a-foreigner-heres-what-you-can-do/ ✧ Rallies and events: https://www.stopputin.net/ ☆ Donation Links: ✧ Supplies for the military- ⤷ Come Back Alive https://savelife.in.ua/en/donate/ ⤷ SUV/ATV/trucks for military https://pekelnitachky.com/en ⤷ Army SOS https://armysos.com.ua/en/ ✧ Medical supplies- ⤷ Razom for Ukraine https://razomforukraine.org/donate/ ⤷ Revived Soldiers Ukraine https://www.rsukraine.org/ ✧ Helping the volunteers- ⤷ Ukrainian Red Cross https://redcross.org.ua/en/2022/02/donate-to-support-the-ukrainian-red-cross-to-help-civilians-in-this-difficult-time-for-ukraine/ ✧ Helping the veterans- ⤷ UWVM/Veteranka https://www.uwvm.org.ua/?page_id=3031⟨=en ✧ Helping children affected by war- ⤷ Voices of Children https://voices.org.ua/en/ ✧ Vulnerable groups- ⤷ Insight (LGBTQ aid) https://www.insight-ukraine.org/en/join-donate/ ⤷ Help for Roma family resettlement https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/fundraising-for-roma-families-in-ukrainian-crisis ☆ Additional links/reading: https://snyder.substack.com/p/how-to-think-about-war-in-ukraine https://supportukrainenow.org/ https://bank.gov.ua/en/news/all/natsionalniy-bank-vidkriv-spetsrahunok-dlya-zboru-koshtiv-na-potrebi-armiyi https://t.me/ukrainianwarnewstranslated https://www.boycottrussia.info/ https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/feb/28/vladimir-putin-war-russia-ukraine?utm_source=instagram&utm_campaign=harariopinion https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/amp.abc.net.au/article/100857650 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/02/23/fact-checking-putins-speech-ukraine/ https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/02/lavrov-russia-diplomacy-ukraine/622075/ https://mfa.gov.ua/en/10-facts-you-should-know-about-russian-military-aggression-against-ukraine#:~:text=As%20of%20today%20Russia%20continues,of%20the%20territory%20of%20Ukraine. https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/ukrainian-voices-are-missing-from-the-drama-over-ukraines-future/ https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2016/12/russia-liberal-democracy/510011/ https://jsis.washington.edu/news/a-russian-federation-information-warfare-primer/ https://www.vice.com/en/article/pkpzzz/ukraine-young-people-war-with-russia-kyiv https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/programs/hack/hack/13723984 https://www.kyivpost.com/ukraine-politics/10-popular-misconceptions-about-ukraine-debunked.html ☆ Things to keep in mind: ✧ many money apps are not available in Ukraine so be wary of scammers - research a person's profile to see if they are actually from Ukraine. ✧ similarly, a lot of people online are claiming to be ukrainian for attention - if you are one of those people js know ur the worst and thats all i've got for now everyone!! again, ill be trying to actively add to this project as i find more resources and stuff :) <3
