Ukraine's Freedom: Uncovering the truth — How can I assist the Ukrainian people and avert war

Russia halted but did not stop fighting two weeks into the conflict

By Subeesh Narayanan VPublished 4 years ago 3 min read

As the world watches, the people of Ukraine fight for their freedom. Russian aggression has forced many Ukrainians to flee their homes, while others have taken up arms in defence of their country. The rest of the world has responded with support, sending humanitarian aid and pledging to stand with Ukraine in this time of need. This blog post tells the story of the Ukrainian people, their struggle for freedom and the international support that is helping them win.

1. What is happening in Ukraine?

The current situation in Ukraine is tense. For years, the country has been divided between those who support Ukrainian independence and those who want to be part of Russia. In February of 2014, the conflict escalated when pro-Russian forces occupied the Crimean peninsula. In response, the Ukrainian government turned to the European Union for help. In March of 2014, a referendum was held in Crimea to determine if it would become part of Russia. The referendum was condemned by many countries as illegitimate, as it was held under Russian military occupation. Despite this, Russia declared that Crimea was now part of their country. Since then, fighting has continued in eastern Ukraine between pro-Russian separatists and Ukrainian forces. Over 10,000 people have been killed, and over a million have been displaced as a result of the conflict.

2. How can I help the people of Ukraine?

There are many ways to support the fighters for freedom in Ukraine. Here are a few:

  • Donate money to organizations that are helping the people of Ukraine, such as the Red Cross, UNICEF or Doctors Without Borders.
  • Volunteer with an organization that is helping refugees from Ukraine.
  • Write to your local representatives and ask them to put pressure on the Ukrainian government to stop the violence and work towards a peaceful resolution.
  • Share information about what is happening in Ukraine on social media and with your friends and family.
  • Offer to host a refugee from Ukraine in your home.

3. How to keep abreast of current events happening in Ukraine

It can be difficult to stay up-to-date on the latest news when it seems like the story is always changing. Thankfully, there are a few ways to make sure you're always in the know.

We hope you'll join us in supporting the fighters for freedom in Ukraine!

4. How to become a more informed global citizen
