#StandWithUkraine – What you can do to help!

We are appalled and still shocked by the Russian attack and would like to express our profound solidarity with the people of Ukraine! Like so many others, we do not want to stand idly by. The re:publica team has already taken action and is providing help and support for the people in and from Ukraine.

Shortly after the start of Russia's war of aggression on Ukraine, we had suspended our previously planned announcements on our channels and instead shared links to relief efforts and support activities for the people in Ukraine. 
In the last few days, many projects, aid initiatives and offers of support have been created. We have collected them in a list for you to give you a better overview of where and how you can help, and we will continue to grow and update this list.
