There are a lot of big international projects that attract widespread attention from donors in the West. A lot of them have a purely humanitarian purpose and shy away from supporting the very people defending Ukraine's civilians from a genocide - the Ukrainian military.

The charities most direly in need of support are small organisations on the ground supporting individual military units or crowdfunding to buy specific items for the soldiers. Often, they don't even have pages in English, making them inaccessible to foreign donors. To such charities, even a small amount makes a tremendous difference. We at Help Ukraine Scotland recognise that and wish to offer them targeted support.

Our goal is small - 365 GBP, one pound for every day of this year of unlawful full-scale invasion. But it will make a huge difference to the recipients of the funds.

100% of our proceeds will go to the following organisations -

Vidsich (https://www.facebook.com/vidsich/) - currently appealing for funds to buy a drone for Ukrainian soldiers defending Bakhmut, one of the hottest spots in Ukraine.

Zahist Vitchyzni ("Defense of the Motherland", https://www.facebook.com/fyutks2020/) - buying wetsuits for Ukrainian military divers, warm things, medical supplies, and food for those on the frontline
