#StandWithUkraine

My name is Oleksii, I'm a software developer from Kyiv, Ukraine. On 24th of February 2022 I woke up to war: Russian Armed Forces have invaded my country. Driven by chauvinistic ideals and determination to eradicate the Ukrainian people, this act of aggression can only be described as genocide.

Russian soldiers spare no thought when bombing residential areas, hospitals, schools, museums, cultural heritages, and civilian infrastructure. The list of war crimes grows by the minute, while the Russian war machine still enjoys both active and tacit public support back home.

In Ukraine, everyone's life has been irrecoverably affected. Some of us lost our homes, friends, loved ones, while the rest are struggling to maintain a sense of normalcy in-between the sounds of sirens and regular blackouts. War is a surreal thing to try to comprehend, but unfortunately it's real and it's here — all we can do is fight back.

Since early 2026 I have finally left behind my career in software development and joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It's not clear when this war will end, but it's clear that it won't end by itself.

If you are sympathetic to our cause and wish to help, I have compiled a list of funds and organizations that I personally trust and recommend donating to. When it comes to financial aid, it's best to avoid large global funds, such as Red Cross or UN Crisis Relief, because they have very limited presence in Ukraine and typically can't provide the most necessary support.

Glory to Ukraine! Glory to Heroes!
