I am allocating a month’s invoice to helping ukranian civilians (12k gbp). I am spreading it in before and after - right now sending baby food and clothes at the border, directly and via charities, and after that i will try and help with reconstruction funds in areas worst hit. I am thinking agricultural tools and anything to help them help themselves.
After learning how much graft and corruption has reached from the USA to the Ukraine and back again, I'm sure I don't want to help. We don't have a single congress person whose kid isn't on some Ukrainian gas company board.
Help the civilians, don't help the military as it's only going to generate further violence and death. You won't make any difference in the conflict anyway.<p>If you really care about civilian's lives, you should hope for the invasion to end as quickly as possible, not to drag along in the cities streets for weeks. There is no point in dragging the resistance for long as Ukraine has no chance of winning and the guerrilla will hit civilians hard.
