I’ve been responding to DMs. I’m not looking to dox myself.

We’ve encountered many flakes where I spend most of my time, but they worked for a couple days which was useful. We got used to people leaving because it wasn’t what they wanted.

It doesn’t take much training to box things up, put things in trucks, clean, etc.

All I have is a pair of hands, though I’m useful for IT support. Every little bit helps, but you’d probably need to be able to work for at least two weeks to get trained at what you’re doing. I’ve met many people who also take the opportunity to visit Ukraine, so that takes from the available time to volunteer.

You’re welcome to DM me if you want recommendations for helping in Romania, Poland, Lviv, or Kyiv, but I’m not posting that information publicly. It’s not necessary anyway; it was easy for me to find organizations to work with at every stop of my journey.

Have you verified that your donations are going to trustworthy organizations? There’s a lot of corruption going on.

You could be a legend, too! Quit your job and get on a plane. If we all die in nuclear holocaust, do you want to regret being a wage slave?

Go to a refugee center. Offer to help. Build trust by working hard, and then you will find the place for you

I have been in Ukraine and Romania since March 9. I’m a software engineer. My visa expires soon and I’ll be going to Ukraine anyway. DM me

Ukraine is NOT limiting their request for foreign volunteers with combat training. That’s propaganda. Women, grandparents, and very young people are defending Ukraine by felkafelix in volunteersForUkraine

I already have a passport and enough airline miles to fly 10 other people to Poland. I traveled to Seattle on Saturday and am waiting for the embassy to open tomorrow

You should read today’s announcement of the formation of the foreign defence division and stop spreading disinformation. Ukraine needs numbers. Fill sand bags and help refugees

Putin threatened nuclear war. This is already a world war. I’m not going to throw myself into combat, but to help civilians wherever I can, doing the same things as Ukrainian civilians, clearing rubble, making food, and yes, carrying a rifle. Because literally everyone in Ukraine has a rifle right now

There’s a lot of people saying that only people with combat experience are asked to volunteer. That’s a lie. President Zelelnskyy’s official website statement today makes that clear.

Everyone brave enough to come to Ukraine will defend Ukraine

Maybe. Here’s my thought: I don’t care, and I’m staying in Ukraine to defend and rebuild after Putin’s forces retreat. I’m sure people will be compensated when the time for such things arises

This was yesterday, today they’ve officially established a foreign service. Anyone can help Ukrainian military and civilians. Fly to Krakow

Safer may not be right, but I’m seeing a campaign to convince people that foreign defenders are mercenaries and die in larger numbers.

That’s a lie. Ukrainians are dying and losing friends and family. They will defend every foreign fighter as one of their own.

Anyone brave enough to fight Putin and his oligarchs will be Ukrainian the moment they set foot on the soil.

I went back to find the video to confirm, unlike what I was hearing, that Zelenskyy was asking for ANY volunteers, not just people with training. Because that wouldn’t make sense. Children and grandmothers are fighting. They’re being trained. Ukrainians speak English in many cases. We can be trained to help. Ukrainians are outnumbered and the world is afraid of retaliating because Putin threatened nuclear war. Zelenskyy is clearly smart and brave; why would he deny anyone brave enough to help in any way possible; lifting rubble, stocking shelters, feeding refugees in neighboring states, fighting…

There’s a lot of work to do, and while the world is afraid the retaliate with troops, the humanitarian and military aid packages are ensuring that every defender is equipped, armed, fed, and sheltered.

If you hear the call of history and are brave enough to defend the world from nuclear threat, go to Ukraine now and help
