They take a huge share of donations for their own needs and there are even times that no money makes it to the cause. The actual first place to go is u24.gov.ua/ this is United24 It is a platform presented by president Zelensky. Secondly you might choose some volunteers that are helping Ukraine in various areas. prytulafoundation.org/en Serhei Prytula foundation is one of the most known ones Other well-known foundations are Army SOS and Come Back Alive savelife.in.ua/en/ armysos.com.ua/ For Medical and humanitarian aids you have Leleka Foundations, Razom and United Help Ukraine www.leleka.care/ www.razomforukraine.org/ unitedhelpukraine.org/ You can also see some people on twitter from different parts of Ukraine, but I cannot verify any of those, so do it at your own risk.

I hope European leaders step up. We are on our own in Europe. Forget the US, they won't help us. We are in the same position as in 1938 now. We either stop Hitler 2.0 in Ukraine now, or we will have his army all over EU lands. I fully agree that we should start to consider our own boots on the ground. It often works better to post under someone else, I have found. The bots got my first comment.

Hi guys 👋 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
Ukraine directly going after russian energy is a direct consequence of lack of aid. Ukraine cannot afford to be concerned with energy prices worldwide if it doesn't get sufficient aid
Taking out Russian oil refineries will not greatly affect energy prices as it won't lesson crude oil exports. It will rob Russians of the fuel needed for logistics and war ability.
Neither should they be, they have to survive. They need to do everything they can and I certainly won't blame them.
Agree. Nor do they owe the US the respect of listening to their restrictions on what can be done inside ruzzia.
A bigger impact in international oil prices isn't too likely, because Ukraine targets refineries, not oil production. No refineries means no gasoline and diesel for russian military (and russians), no change in oil shipping to the world market.
They never should. This is total war
Thank you, G Fellow Americans, please call your Congregational representatives and tell them you're going to support their rival if they don't support aid to Ukraine
I called my Congressman and sent a message to my Senator. My Senator is a very terrible Republican and has voted no on the border bill and is following Donald Trump like a horse trying to get the carrot on a stick. I hope they can get the funds to support Ukraine.
@@kathrinekerns8398 you should have 2 Senators and 1 Congressperson. Keep up the pressure, Katherine. I've gone from weekly calls to daily now
In the United States, our "representatives" select their voters, not the other way around.
@@kathrinekerns8398that doesn’t work anymore
I already did. mine is one of the few republicans to vote for it so I guess it worked in my case.
Wtf are we doing man. I'm writing a letter to my representatives as a uk citizen. I urge you all to do the same. Ukrainians are dying for our feeble donations. Don't get me wrong, especially as a brit 🇬🇧 I'm proud of how we have all stood up. But we're in this now. We need to get our heads out the clouds. I've got a baby girl turning 1 in February. I don't want to die, but my daughter isn't growing up in this fuckrey. This is our duty. The choice is simple. Donate what Ukraine needs and more right now. And collectively nato and the eu, we need to re-arm, rebuild our militaries. I don't want to be in a trench, but we will be if we don't do whats needed now. Slava Ukraini Heroyam Slava 🇬🇧💚🇺🇦
*Yes!* ❤
I just hear alot of talk but see no action from the EU. The combined GDP of the EU is 42 trillion. It could afford to supply Ukraine with all it needs
@@jeffreyexposito3803 The EU does have to deal with a lot of bureaucracy -- i.e. when Georgijs roasted the EU for only providing 300k out of 1 Million shells by the end of last year -- but for their current capabilities have done a lot. Germany's air defense systems (2 of 3 patriots), Polish howitzers, British cruise missiles, etc. The biggest issue now seems to be artillery ammo. Yes both the EU and US need to get their act together but that doesn't excuse the US flailing around in congress. This was the alliance Russia was afraid of? Shoots a big hole in the "Muh NATO scary" argument.
@@Leitis_Fella sadly this kind of traitorous shit by the US magas and dithering EU politicians only seeks to embolden the likes of putin, we cannot allow this to happen a moment longer than it needs to.
@@jeffreyexposito3803 Yes it does, but it does not excuse the US, it signed the peace agreement, it was the biggest guarantor!?!
Yes, it hinges on the Europeans they must start rearming in earnest & fast! They must back Ukraine with everything they can regardless of the U.S.
Thanks Georgijs for your defense of Ukraine and her brave people. I just received my new Ukraine Matters logo t-shirt. I live in a very red state here in the US, but I shall proudly wear my new attire in support of Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine!
Thank you.
Write to your rep.
well I'm from Hungary and Orbán doesn't care any interest of the Hungarian people. In his decisions he cares only his very self-interest, instead of the country's one
You have my every sympathy. Like Belarus, you're stuck with a despotic leader.
And America will be the same if Trump takes power again.
How did Orbán get into power? Is there not any opposition to what he is doing? If the history of Soviet influence in setting the opinion of people against their own governments, Putin seems to have direct influence with Orbán. Has there been any investigations with this?
During the last elections in Hungary all opposition parties were forming a coalition trying to win, but still it didn't work, although it was close. The media in Hungary is owned by orban's friends and they can influence the pooulation to believe anything they want, at least a slight majorty.
dt 2.00, real people know your situation. Go Ukraine!
How does allowing Russia to rampage through Europe make America great again?
Trump wants to help his buddy Putler. Trump is a wannabe dictator so Europe falling to dictatorship would make it easier for him to become a dictator in the US. Since the US would not have any European support for keeping its democracy then.
That's a question you'll have to ask those who don't support Ukraine.
I wonder this too. It's ridiculous.
Selfish, narrow minded, bigoted maga. Trump hate speech gets too much air time. Repeat the same lies enough and it becomes real to people who are unable or don't want to think for themselves.
These people live in their own world. It's a direct consequence of partisan politics and stupid culture wars in the US.
"You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else. " -Winston Churchill
He never said it, but it’s now 100% true with our legislature held hostage by maniacs. I’m almost ready for a benevolent dictator. King Schwarzenegger (dude passed the stricter emission laws in world history and no can accuse him of being a sissy).
Sad but true.
Why spare Trump, he should be in jail.
Churchill didn’t actually ever say this and it doesn’t even apply today because the GOP won’t ever do the right thing willingly.
I'm ashamed of our western allies. We send letters to our PM and MPs.🇨🇦❤️🇺🇦
Southern allies primarily. I am from the states and we are failing you all. Sorry my Canadian brother.
I have been calling Representatives daily!!
Good for you! I've been writing weekly. Think I'll start calling daily@
Thank you both.
Unfortunately my representative is republican.
Thank you from Europe!
Thank you very much Georgijs! Here's hoping the GOP finally budges and the EU steps up even more. Slava Ukraini! 💙💛
Don't just hope. Call. Tell them you will vote their asses out in November if they play 1938 all over again and get your children drafted in a future war that they laid the foundation for.
If the GOP doesn't budge they will loose the election on this issue. If they have any hope of winning it will be tight. They have no hope of winning the popular vote so they have to budge becasue many people like me considered swing voters, who vote on Policy are really pissed off right now. I am furious they didn't pass Ukraine aid or the fixes for the Border. Its basically treason, our country cannot function like this. Solution: Dump the GOP
Hey Catalin! 🍻
Thank you Georgijs 🇺🇦❤️🙏🇺🇸

On top of the problems in the U.S., Ukraine needs help from European NATO countries that let their defenses atrophy to very dangerous levels. Years of increased defense spending will be required for those countries to completely rebuild their capabilities, years that Ukraine might not have. The wise thing would be for European NATO countries to help Ukraine as much as possible right now, even if it means going to something approaching a war footing. If Europe can help Ukraine get through this year, then the U.S. may have a chance to reenter the equation. It is difficult to see any other other way forward at this extremely dangerous time.
I guess we all thought the time of war in Europe was past. We believed that we had become civilised. What a mistake.
@@carolwilliams8511 Sad but true.
I despair. It's two years now that we have known that Europe has to tool up, help Ukraine and flex its muscles. Instead they are still, even now, helping in dribs and drabs and talking around the problem.
Polish farmers are once again blocking border entries as if eukraine being bombed is not as serious as their price if grain.
Yes, and F-16's are still only being talked about but nowhere to be seen. First ones should have been flying in December... Did Zaluzhnyi lose his position because they couldn't afford to wait for them anymore?
@@CellGames2006F-16 training is going on and we saw the first jet with Ukrainian markings.
@@harmless6813Dennys has stated that the F-16 picture with the Ukranian markings on it is a fake.
It is always darkest before the dawn, i believe in ukraine and democracy however flawed will triumph.
I believe this year will see a turning point in Ukraine's favour.
About Russian economy collapsing: There are a few things that need to come together. Constantin from inside Russia made a video about bottlenecks. Bottlenecks is something everybody underestimates! The warchest is just one of many, many possible bottlenecks. And one analogy: Like with the steel in the WorldTradeCenter, you do not need the temperature high enough to melt the steel, you just need to heat it up so it looses ~80% of its carrying capacity. And then it starts collapsing, and other parts start collapsing.
Also a reminder: Why can't European defense industry massively ramp up 155 production? Bottlenecks (current bottleneck is not money). Everybody underestimates bottlenecks!

Thank you for the update, Georgijs! Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦💙💛💪
According to recently released oil and gas revenues for 2023, their revenue was down 65% for 2021 prewar values. Trolls, these are Russia's own numbers so don't even try to dispute them,. Yes, the refined products are the most profitable, but they are also among the lowest volume products. Hitting the refinery will likely have a bigger impact on the civilian and military sectors. Russia had already declared a moratorium on exports of refined fuels before these refinery strikes began, So, I can't imagine that their current situation is much improved. A note on the comment about cat crackers from an old refinery manager. The cat cracker is the key to making many fuels, especially gasoline. They are far from an off the shelf item and can take years to replace. I sincerely doubt that Russia has the technology to build their own. In other words, hitting this key infrastructure is likely to shut down most of a refinery's production capacity. The Nazi's war machine was significantly destroyed by bombing the refinery in Ploesti, Romania during WW II. .
Thanks.
Georgie you are great! Thank you from the USA!!!
I agree Georgijs, we all need to get used to the idea that we will be going on to the war time footing.
I can tolerate anything as long as our men don't have to go and fight.
Yet Russia keeps sending in supplies on their trains. Why are Russian trains still running?
Probably not enough resources to go after them. Ukraine doesn't have enough of what they need so they have to prioritise.
@@Rimrock300 "One have to ship in weapons at a ww3 level to get close to force the russians out of ukraine, and keep them there. The west is not going to want to pay that high of an price. There will be a no man zone about at todays' frontline +/-. The US can send 500 billions extra, and push the line 10 miles east or whatever, and is it worth i" Huh. I think Ukraine would have to agree to that. Right now, and from what I can see, they are completely UNWILLING to give up any land at all. Rightfully so. What state is the USA willing to trade to Russia if the roles were reversed? What other country will have to fall before Putin next in your plan of appeasement? You cannot appease dictators, and Russia will only take your "reasonable solution" as a pause to re-arm and attack again. AND THAT WOULD BE WWIII. The price is much lower, in my estimation, to force Russia completely out of Ukraine while they are still contained to Ukraine.
@@nian60 They have received billions, and it was never enough of a priority.
This is far from over😊 Ukraine is very clever. They will prevail Slava Ukraini @@rogerrussell9544
@@rogerrussell9544 I don't think you understand how big this war is.
I strongly daubt that Russia still has 100 billion left in the national fund. The official budget deficit does not explain where the 40 % increase in military spending comes from when the oil and gas revenue shrinked to half of the value 2 years ago.
Blood gold and diamonds.
There is still plenty fat left to trim. They can cut spending on social infrastructure (roads, hospitals, schools) to the bone, forcibly convert personal savings into War Bonds, reduce pensions, and sell long-term leases of Russian resources to their neighbours such as China.
@@defendandprotect-om5hv We know that they have paid iran in gold bullion. There have been suggestions that Russia had/has more stocks of Gold than it ever admitted to, to maintain the price..

Hi ladies 👋 Stay positive, I know it's hard

At the beginning of the war Russia was exporting fossil fuels worth 30 bln USD a month. By the end of 2023 that had come down to 20 bln USD. Now harbours and refineries have been damaged. Also it's been estimated that the direct costs of war for Russia are 10-20 bln USD per month.
11:36 Be careful saying that they will pass it. It is very likely also this separated bill will die in the house.

So...This is the most urgent time that we should all be donating to UNITED24 ?!
Agree. United24 is a super way to help arm Ukraine.
You're the first youtuber I've heard mention the specific parts of the refineries being targeted as being of major significance. Lots go on about how the size of the facilities are massive, the parts are widely dispersed, and the assumption is that one can't shut down production, merely hinder it. But, if as you say, these particular parts are somewhat rare and indispensable, then that changes the validity of the strategy. If they're targeting an Achilles heel, that's very different than random hits to a homogenous production center that can re-route around the damage.
I'm not laughing because in those few months. That the United States was trying to figure out a package. Imagine how many ukrainians civilians and Soldiers died....

If the United States was in elementary school right now, the grade on their report card would be a big fat "F". And, all because of Donald Trump and his terrible leadership.
USA has already got german industrial, chemical and auto companies to USA and transfer Europe supply of oil and natural gas from Russia to USA. Like, they got everything they need, the rest unnecessary expenses
The problem is with Biden and his lawless management of the US southern border nitwit. A not so small army has invaded this country during Biden's tenure, more than a few are terrorists and CCP agents nitwit. You might have noticed that it is under Biden's demented watch that the world is in shambles and aflame.
Yup.
Awesome video 📹 my buds!! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 to victory ✌️
I think you need to look more closely at what the Russian warchest is. I don't think they have what you suggest... Historically, it's hard to tell how it's going, even though you know it's rough, but they seem to be surviving... and then they suddenly, totally collapse. That's what I see happening in Russia, just like last time, and time before...

You do not need modern refineries to make diesel suitable to run a Russian tank. The improvised ones in Syria are adequate. It hits fuel exports, not so much the Russian Army. See "Why makeshift oil refineries in Syria are a ticking time bomb" to see how primitive you can get.

For all of the countries who don't want to involve themselves, Trump just stated that he would encourage Russia to attack NATO countries who were not paying, what he considered, their fair share. It would behoove all of NATO countries to start sending aid immediately.
HI MY GOOD FRIEND ❤️
16:13 oil refineries have only one or two cracking towers in the huge land area of each refinery... and repair will need western tech
Good explanation on the US mess.

Are the GLSDBs part of the package that is waiting to be delivered? I'd hope those would have already been there by now. Those in real numbers could be a game changer, which is I now suspect is why they been delayed for so long.
13:20 you are so right - and it´s really scary
Hey there, you are doing a great job !! I greatly value your assessments. You have definitely shed light on one of my troubling questions about Ukraine withholding resources so long. If it was truly due to Zaluhzny storing resources, it all makes sense now. I definitely don’t agree with the general’s idea. Withholding resources resulted in giving Russia time to build defenses., which greatly impacted the Ukraine offensive. Hope Syrsky proves to be the right choice to move forward. I wish to say, I absolutely 💯 % agree with all of your comments about Trump!! As an American, I am totally dismayed by what is happening due to Trump’s control. My god !! Current Congress wants to screw all 2024 progress to satisfy someone that isn’t even part of current government. It’s totally obscene!! Thanks again!! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
The refining infrastructure is being hit as it means that Russia will not be self-sufficient in diesel required for the war machine. Critically this infrastructure degradation does not affect the crude oil supply and the world markets.
In the US, they say, remember the Alamo, the rest of the world will now be saying, remember Ukraine,shame on them.
While the ruzzian economy may not be collapsing, from what I've seen, they are making serious concessions in order to keep the war going. The recent uptick in utilities and infrastructure woes in ruzzia suggest a cut in investment towards those areas. The incident in which firefighters used water to try put out a fire, causing more damage to the oil terminal suggests a lack of competent workers in ruzzia, either due to the competent ones fleeing or being involved in the war. EU has prepared a new round of sanctions. While sanctions do not deprive access to components, they do make access more expensive (having to pay middlemen on top of the price of the components). More sanctions means ruzzias war chest drains faster. Ukraine hitting refineries deprives fuel for ruzzias war machine (I've seen articles about ruzzia being forced to stop refined product exports, even before these attacks). It also has the additional danger of causing backlogs, which could force ruzzia to shut down some of their oil extraction capabilities. (I believe Peter Zeihan spoke about this and the consequences thereof) Things may be hard for Ukraine, but all is not sunshine and rainbows for ruzzia either. From what I see, it is possible that they can both lose. But I have confidence that Ukraine will prevail. Слава Україні!
I’m glad to see you again. Still supporting Ukraine and praying for a reprieve.
The war chest is actually even worse than $50b in liquid assets. Most of that $50b is in Chinese yuan and gold. These are not easily convertible assets.
I think that the bill will go thru.
Don´t count your chickens before they hatch, this help is only actual after the President has signed it, and it may not get that far.
Radical words Georgie...
