Ukrainian charities: a guide for international supporters

Ukrainian civil society primarily counters Russian aggression via donation to charities, some of which support the Ukrainian Army directly, and some of which provide help in other areas of civil society. If you, as a non-Ukrainian, wish to help us defend the borders of Europe, your help is always appreciated!

The charities listed below are divided into three categories: those which support field medics and combat medicine, those which support the army with supplies, including weapons, and all-purpose charities/charities where helping the army is only one area. If you are against supporting any army on principle, please consider donating to the last category.

NOTE: unfortunately, the non-military charities are also the charities mostly targeted at Ukrainian society locally rather than the Diaspora and therefore usually have no international payment details. I will be asking them for international payment details and update this document accordingly. Two present exceptions are the last charities on the list, EverybodyCan and OpenEyes, so if you want to help non-military charities - skip there.

Update: Adding proxy charities as a category - large-scale UN relief programs that work with Ukrainian charities.
