Ways of using websites in Ukraine, or how the Internet helps the people of Ukraine

Watching the damage caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine hurts my heart. But it also inspires us to watch the strength and perseverance shown by many people. We must do everything in our power to save as many lives as possible. #StandWithUkraine.

We monitor, analyze and praise how the internet is currently being used to help people during this crisis, and remind us why we need to nurture and maintain a safe, empowering internet for all.

Ways to use the website to help the people of Ukraine:

The sites are also customizable for any user with a Russian IP address to display a pop-up window with information about the conflict in Ukraine.

Sending money to individuals in Ukraine;

Websites providing information on transportation and accommodation services for security seekers;
