[From Ukraine] How to help

This is not a typical IH product update, but I saw someone asking so decided to write this.

TL;DR

Contact your local politic or senator - tell them Ukraine needs:

1. Protect Ukrainian Sky

We need you to block the sky to stop Russian planes bombing schools, kindergartens, and hospitals (yes it is true).

Ukrainian military will take care about enemies on the ground. We just need stop them in the sky.

2. Send us more weapons

We need NLAW, Javelins, Stingers - and everything else.

3. Ban Russia from SWIFT

Current sanctions are not working.
This will help every russian civilian take this seriously.

4. Donate to support our best volunteering fund

This fund is called "Come back alive"
https://savelife.in.ua/en/donate/

5. Help us to DDoS Russian Propaganda websites

Putin uses propaganda to disinform society.

This is very easy - just open this link and it does it automatically.

This is black-hat thing but many people on IH like growth hacks - this is just one of them.

Just open the link
https://stop-russian-desinformation.near.page/

I will update this post or create a new one tomorrow.

Thanks for your help!

    Thank you for posting this, Max! The situation is heartbreaking and so angering and I struggle with how I can make a difference.

    I have already contacted my senators to push for more sanctions, and told all my friends to as well. I've donated to the UA Red Cross and will donate to these organizations next.

    I love the the DDOS page idea: fight fire with fire.

    For others, here is another page with legitimate Ukrainian charities you can support:
