If you can, consider donating to Ukraine’s Sky Sentinel campaign, these turrets are designed to shoot down Russia’s kamikaze drones and protect Ukraine’s cities.
If someone is reading this, i'd like to ask you to reconsider, and donate to "Come Back Alive" instead. Paid influencers, cartoons and promises from United24 are great and all, but it's better to choose the older, non-governmental org that is down to earth.
Already assuming you won? Impressive narcissism you got there. Zelensky tried to curb the NABU their anti corruption agency a month ago and failed due to mass protests. And now literally a day ago, they are now investigating a company that has ties to one of Zelensky oligarch friends Mindich. Keep in mind, the former head of NABU is still charged with treason after investigating stuff related to Zelensky friends. It’s very clear to have doubts on anything related to the government.
The comment above is right. Come back alive is legit as well and is not connected to the government.
And honestly hundreds of reputable articles&News station reporting incidents about how the corrupt elite/corrupt government is using this war to their advantage sadly. But to know that you‘d have to google and read stuff for 3 mins instead of assuming lmao.
Ukrainians concerned about corruption as donors pledge billions to rebuild the country
So sources that demonstrate that Ukranians are conserned with corruption, that EU is concerned with the risk of corruption and that the Ukraine government is clamping down on corruption. All is fine as I see it.
lets just put it like that, if people donate, they reach their target goal, and then still dont have the money, its on them. Right now money for personal gain should be least of their prioritises if they still want to have a country where to spend them.
whats worst is prople try to deny it, usually not people from ukraine either. ukrainians know how corrupt their government is, just like a week ago the UA government attempted to destroy their independent anti corruption mechanism, they only backed down after extreme backlash from the ukrainian population, the ukrainian people know they have to keep eyes on their government.
The headline right now on the "Come Back Alive" site is them working with the Ukrainian Ministry of Health. It reads as of this post ""Come Back Alive" and the Ministry of Health Have Signed Partnership Memorandum" (can Google this later if it changes).
So is it really true the corruption is still so deep in Ukraine that we should avoid all donations linked in any way to government? Which would mean we should also avoid "Come Back Alive" now?
I really don't want to be dissuaded from donating, already gave a lot to U24, but I want to donate to places that actually make a difference!
"Apolitical organisation works together with some parts of government, specifically on cases regarding veterans" is not the same as "organisation owned by the government, works for the government, spends half the time praising the government". U24 are not that bad or anything, they serve certain purpose, and even on some cases work together with other foundations, including CBA. I'm just saying that by donating to CBA, a higher percentage of your money has a chance of actually making it to army, on useful applications. Instead of almighty Palyanitsya "rocket-drones" (a.k.a your everyday reactive drones) or 123456km intercontinental missiles that can make to a Jupiter (but not Mariupol or Bilhorod of course), you'll support humble, but more real equipment and inventions.
I see you're in Kharkiv, I wish you the very best and more of us are with you than not. Thank you for defending Europe and freedom, we owe you more than a few $ in donations.

I use a different route. Like going around you asshole to get to your elbow sort of deal. But I donate to my buddy using OF lmfao. Atleast I know the money is going to the right place. They are close enough to the front, but not on it? They seem to think it is a good way and can access the funds, so we just keep doing the same thing and it keeps both of us mostly anonymous. Then they can take those funds and spread them around when they buy food and water and nick-nacks. Everytime they have to go to the bomb shelter I tell them to bring extra water lol
