Daniel (Daniil) M. Ozernyi of Northwestern University writes:

I am a Ukrainian. I am sure you are aware of the situation which befell my country over the last few days.

The invading troops have shown cruelty beyond measure and expression, to which the Taliban’s calls for exercising restraint attests. My family is still in Ukraine, under the air strikes, and my friends and former colleagues are on the streets facing Russian militia while I myself am on the brink of flying over to Poland to get to Kyiv and be with my people in these times. 

I am reaching out to you hoping that you perhaps could share with the Daily Nous community some ways to help the Ukrainian and wider affected community. I hope most sincerely for your compassion and empathy!

Daniel provided the following links:

• the list of Ukrainian charities composed and actively maintained by Oxford University Ukrainian Society.
• another list of organizations and charities composed and maintained by Ukraine Global Scholars, of which I am a former member and former admissions officer and director of testing.
• UNICEF is supporting health, nutrition, safe drinking water, sanitation, and protection for children and families caught in the conflict in Ukraine.
• The International Rescue Committee is preparing to provide critical aid to displaced families affected by conflict in Ukraine.
• International Committee of the Red Cross seeks to help people affected by the conflict and support the work of the Ukrainian Red Cross.
• Voices of Children is helping to provide psychological and psychosocial support to children affected by the Ukrainian conflict and helps them to overcome consequences of armed conflict.

He also notes that friends of his have created a website which includes suggestions for donations and other ways of contributing to and supporting the Ukrainians: standwithukraine.how.

Please consider helping.
