You are absolutely correct and I have not forgotten. It's not much, but I send $36 a month and write to my Senators once a month as well. Where are the best places to donate?

I hurt for Ukraine’s beautiful people who never deserved this unfair invasion of their sovereign Country.😞

Trump is Putin’s puppet and the faster all of NATO moves away from allowing him to have any influence the safer the democratic world will be!

Here In Canada, we are watching the attacks on Ukraine and hearing the same script from Trump about our sovereignty. NATO must help Ukraine defeat Putin immediately… with everything they have. United we stand and divided we fall has urgent meaning these days.

You don’t have to be Ukrainian to empathize and understand the gravity of the situation. You just have to be a decent human being.

We have not forgotten Ukraine despite the crap that is heaped on us daily. They should not be treated like this, and our regime is unforgiveable in their deceit.

🇮🇱 & 🇺🇸 should be thanking 💪🏼Ukraine for forcing Russia's ally Iran to give a lot of weapons.

Iran has reportedly supplied Russia with over 200 ballistic missiles, 1000s of attack drones, artillery, & ammo since the beginning of their psychopathic 🇺🇦 invasion

Olga, thank you for the reminder. While I have always supported Ukraine, Trump's attack on Iran was a shock to the system, and now we know that he and Bibi were in cahoots for a long time regarding an attack on Iran, long before Bibi's first recent attack. The Ukrainian people deserve better and hopefully, Iran will supply Russia with fewer weapons to use against Ukraine.

I’ve been thinking about this all month. It’s past tragic. Criminal. I feel helpless and heartbroken. My late relatives were all born in Ukraine …

I refuse to look away. Subscribing to "The Kyiv Independent" helps me be aware. And periodic contributions to Razom do the same. I am thankful for people like you who continue to remind us how critical the situation is, and how terribly the people continue to suffer nearly 2-1/2 years since the beginning of the ghastly attacks.

I support the Kyiv Independent on Patreon. 'Kiev' is a Russian spelling, the Ukrainian spelling is Kyiv.

Thanks for the correction and reminder! I'm so used to writing "Kiev" that I just automatically do. Will correct it.

My heart continues to feel deep sorrow for the country of my forefathers. But there is some good to come from the war in Iran - it's degraded Iran's ability to supply attack drones to Putin. Hopefully, Ukrainian forces can take advantage of this situation.

I don't work outside my home, therefore I don't have an income (hub's retirement sustains us). I donate as much as I can, as often as I can. But since the election, I've refused to give monies to politicians. I've since only donated to Ukraine's military (via u24.gov.ua), Hansen Ukrainian Mission (via hum.giving), and to independent journalists here on substack. That's it. Those are the only three worthy buckets into which I'm dropping monetary support.

I wish I could afford to become a paid subscriber to ALL of my fave journos on here, but I'm only able to choose one per month. Don't worry, you're still on my list, Olga! 🥹💙

You can donate support of all kinds. I support the Kyiv Independent newspaper, and have donated to White Stork for IFAKs, and to World Central Kitchen earmarked for Ukraine. There's also Unite for Ukraine, and so many others, including where you can donate for drones.

I also published a science fiction/fantasy benefit anthology for Ukraine, called To Ukraine, With Love -- all work was donated, all profits go to Ukraine. I also regularly send wishes that putin & his puppet trump get what they deserve:))))
