I know the horrors that have been happening because of Putin's idiocy. I feel bad for everyone involved. I live closer to the war than I'd like and I'm personally worried about what will happen. I am only a child so I can't go fight or send much money. I wish I could let everyone who wants to leave stay in my house and my country. Or Antarctica, wherever. But I can't. What are some ways we can help without donating money we don't have?

#1

Fly to Poland, walk across the border, and pick up a gun.

#2

If you are in a neighboring country - Romania, Moldova, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia - refugees have been crossing the borders since the very first day of conflict. Check out local authorities' response. In Romania there are hundreds of private companies and thousands of volunteers at the borders and in big cities, who offer immediate support: food, warm clothes (it's very cold and snowing), accommodation, transport, translation, medical service, even toys for the children - and everything is offered for free.

If you are far away, you can donate money, but please double check the bank account and person who is requesting it to avoid scams. It's best to be a well known organization.
Check out if your government is planning to send humanitarian support to Ukraine (if not, ask them to do it). Check if medical supplies are included in this support, and if you could donate blood for those wounded in Ukraine (there is always a need for blood).

Go Green! Russia's big export is petro-carbons. Gas and oil. Bankrupt the bastard. Money talks

Use social media to educate people around the world about what's happening. It's important to share content from trustworthy sources as there is a lot of fake information.

Remain informed about the conflict and make sure you follow the official news sources and don't fall for propaganda!
Donate (the National Bank of Ukraine opened a special account to raise funds for the needs of the Ukrainian army): https://bank.gov.ua/ua/news/all/natsionalniy-bank-vidkriv-spetsrahunok-dlya-zboru-koshtiv-na-potrebi-armiyi
Every dollar makes a difference when there are many people ready to donate.
Also, most large international aid organizations are currently working in Ukraine and neighboring countries, where a growing number of displaced people are fleeing. You can help by donating money to these organizations as well: UNICEF, Red Cross, UNHCR, etc.

I think that for the kids especially, it's important to not ignore what is happening. Support Ukraine, even if it's in small ways. Don't deny that it is happening (because it is). If we tell people, they can tell people, and those people can tell other people, and maybe it can get to somebody that CAN make a big difference in this situation.

Stay informed. Inform others. If you can, find ways to donate. If you know people who are from, or who have families in/from Ukraine, let them know you are there to support them. Keep praying ❤️🇺🇦

I just discovered through Ancestry.com that I have 2 relatives living there. I messaged them, sending prayers and hopes that they are safe.

Push the pro-Ukraine Bored Panda posts back to number one in Trending :-) Don't get complacent. Don't let this seem less urgent. World did that with Putin for years, and that's how we got here.

Yes! Don't push the instagram posts to the front, or the social media fails, show everyone on bored panda what counts!

Protest for Russia to get sanctioned on oil as well. Without it sanctioned, our good friend Putoid is just gonna keep funding this invasion.

Establish Armies/Military people around the border, or we could establish a Worldwide Military, and pull a "return to sender."

It is a small thing, but talk to people about the war whether they want to or not. I am so frustrated with people I come across saying "I can't watch the news - too depressing" or "Gas prices are so high here and it is unfair" or similar. More concerned for themselves than for Ukraine, because it isn't happening to them. They turn a blind eye and wait for others to fix they problem while they go on with their lives.

You can donate online to the refugees, pray for them, and just support them online, like on social media.

Can the virtue signalling our government is currently doing, instead donate to one of the many aid agencies actively working in Ukraine and helping on the front line (rather than pretending / photo-opping at air bases, Boris). You can donate to Red Cross, Unicef, Save the Children - all of which are running campaigns to get vital supplies into Ukraine.

Don't be afraid to show your mean and warrior spirit. Don't be afraid to harm those against you. It is your country, it your place to live and inhabit. Don't let these Russians invading you succeed. Help people helping you. Help those of Ukraine. Bordering countries, open up your borders. let Ukraine through, let Ukraine live. Help them take back what is theres. Do everything you can to confuse Russia, don't use things from Russia, destroy them from the inside, bankrupt them. Make Russia fear you and don't hold back any more. I stand with Ukraine, and we will help you win this war.
