What's the best way to donate money to the Ukraine?

[Myturnatlast]

I'm looking at the DEC page but wondered if there's a better way of making sure money goes to the people who need it soonest?

Thanks.

This goes directly to Ukraine, please research it.
What they need most now is money for the army and secondly medical supplies - hence the direct links to bank accounts.
But there are some more normal charities if you prefer that.

I say this because there are different views:
Westerners want to donate to humanitarian orgs, but from talking to Ukrainians and other people from the region what they need most is support for the army.

(As neighbouring countries are doing a lot for the refugees anyway themselves.)

I saw that the government is doing match funding up to 20 million via DEC so I opted for that do double my donation.

I have donated to the DEC appeal.

Btw it’s “Ukraine”, not “the Ukraine”.

I donated to the Red Cross with gift aid. They have established infrastructure to deal with getting aid to the right places.

The Red Cross appeal is through the DEC.
