Please help Ukrainian people💙💛

🇺🇦Many outside of Ukraine ask how to help. Here are some thoughts from our Director Olesya Khromeychuk
- Stay informed and inform others.
- Join demos and write to your MPs.
- Donate to humanitarian aid charities and the Ukrainian army. Below are some useful links (please add to this list in comments):

INFORMATION
It's important to read reliable sources. We recommend English-language outlets The Kyiv Independent and The New Voice of Ukraine. Also Ukraine-based journalists: Olga Tokariuk, Christopher Miller, Nika Melkozerova, Illia Ponomarenko (and many others!) Share info with your contacts!

DEMOS and MPs
Write to your MPs to push for sanctions and support (https://members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP) - get in touch with us for a template. Join your local demos (follow Ukraine Solidarity Campaign, Euromaidan London for London). If your town isn't holding one, think of organising it. Chances are - there will be many others who will want to join you!

DONATIONS
- Ukraine: Support the Ukrainian army: Повертайся Живим / 'Come Back Alive', a Kyiv-based charity, provides Ukraine’s Armed Forces with equipment, software, personal body protection, training, etc: https://savelife.in.ua/en/donate/

- UK: British-Ukrainian Aid supports victims of the ongoing war, orphaned children, IDPs, the wounded, etc.
The Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain - London Branch are fundraising for humanitarian aid: https://gofundme.com/f/helpukraine-emergency-appeal

- US: Razom for Ukraine and Nova Ukraine raise money for Emergency Response: https://bit.ly/34WBPOo. Follow Lyuba Shipovich for more info!

- At the Ukrainian Institute London, we do our best to continue raising awareness about the war and about Ukraine more widely. Sign up to our newsletter (https://bit.ly/3p1TOtN), join our events (https://ukrainianinstitute.org.uk) and subscribe to our YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/c/UkrainianInstituteLondon).

Tonight at 8pm we have a very special Ribble Rebel show, with an equally special guest list, Mike Evans, Roscoe Evans, Simon Whip, Derek Russell, David Jaggs, to name a few. The theme tonight is the eclectic mix of some of the best music from the library of our dear friend, presenter and colleague Matt Evans, who passed away last weekend. Many great memories of one top bloke who made all our lives better in so many ways.

Heres to you Matt Evans, rest in peace and Godspeed.
