Our mission
The ''Union of Defenders of Ukraine'' was founded in 2014 by a small group of concerned Ukrainian citizens. Our first challenge was to evacuate civilians fleeing the military aggression of the Russian Federation in the east of the country.
We are ordinary people who have families, jobs, friends and live in Ukraine right now. We are volunteers who spend our time and money to help Ukraine fight for its freedom.
Since the outbreak of large-scale war on February 24, the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine has grown enormously. Entire cities have been destroyed and the number of refugees has exceeded 10 million. Destruction and death have come to the country on a scale the world has not seen since World War II. The invasion is ongoing, so we are constantly improving the effectiveness of our assistance. We build an ecosystem, optimize logistics, and attract new volunteers. The Union actively cooperates with partners from the United States, Belgium, Poland, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic and other countries. We are trusted by people from all over the world, people who believe in justice and goodness.
We are proud of our beautiful and strong people.
Ukraine will win. We are ready to fight for it. That is why each of us is here.
