Aid to Ukraine: what else can be done?
Many serious offers of help are organized at the local level in particular. In many places, associations collect donations in kind and money for affected areas. The main things that are needed are basic supplies: hygiene items, blankets, sleeping bags, clothing, canned beverages and emergency medical equipment.
The flood of information also means there is a need for help: there are currently new reports on the situation in Ukraine every minute. Among the reports are some false reports. Therefore, find out from reputable sources so as not to spread false news about the situation. Another way to show sympathy and solidarity is to take part in demonstrations and rallies. This is usually called for in social networks.
