How You Can Help Ukraine, Without Protesting

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues to be met with widespread condemnation from world leaders, celebrities, athletes, entertainers and even Russian citizens, who have joined the global protest against Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to launch a deadly war that has forced hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians to flee the country.

There are other ways to show solidarity with Ukraine. Here is a list of organizations to which you can donate to help people affected by the crisis.
