Verify & Stay Safe

How we verify links

• Organizations are official Ukrainian government channels, UN agencies, the Red Cross movement, or established non-profits with a public track record and published reports.
• Every link points at the organization's own domain — never a payment page, bank detail or crypto address copied from social media.
• Each link shows the date it was last checked. All links were last reviewed on 2026-09-29.
• Live figures show their source and retrieval time. If a source is unreachable we say so rather than guess.
• Listing is not a guarantee. Please confirm independently before giving.

What this site will never publish

• Troop positions, movements or anything that could put defenders or civilians at risk.
• Unverified, real-time strike claims or predictions.
• Personal details of people affected by the war.
• Our own donation requests — this site doesn't collect money.

Spotting a fake fundraiser

• Check the exact web address. Look-alike domains (extra letters, .org vs .org.ua) are the most common trick.
• Be wary of unsolicited requests — DMs, comments, texts or emails asking you to give, especially with urgency.
• No crypto, gift cards or wire transfers to individuals. Legitimate organizations publish their payment methods on their own site.
• Romance and "soldier in need" scams are widespread. Never send money to someone you only know online.
• Look for reports. Established groups (e.g. UNITED24 reports) show where money went.
• Check a charity's record with BBB Wise Giving Alliance or your country's charity regulator.

Speak Ukrainian or Russian? Help us check the translation

A Ukrainian-language version of this site is on the way, with the Get Help page also in Russian for Russian-speaking Ukrainians and refugees. It will be carefully translated, but we want a native speaker to review it — especially the emergency numbers, hotline instructions and safety wording, where every word matters.

If you can read over a page or two (even just one), please reach out through JoeTheVoter.org. Corrections of any size are welcome.
