Hi Famiboards, I wanted to shine a spotlight on a valuable resource for ways we foreigners can directly support Ukraine in their time of crisis.

Here is the original source of the information presented in this post.
However, I am putting the entirety of its contents into this post so as not to put any more strain on their servers than necessary.



RUSSIA-UKRAINE CRISIS/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.”

Putin placed a demand for Ukraine to stop the escalation staged by the Russian militants, and there is a high likelihood that this may end up in a much larger conflict.

Hey everyone! We are going to be unpinning this thread for now. This thread has not received much traction, and while any support is encouraged and appreciated, the situation on the ground has changed drastically since the beginning of the invasion, and thankfully contributions are being made to Ukraine from governments around the world. We still encourage you to help where you can, but this thread doesn’t appear to benefit much from being pinned here.
