- Day 1: Civilians of major Ukrainian cities woke up from the sounds of explosions.
- Day 3: Russian army came close to Kyiv. Heavy fighting broke out across Ukraine.
- Day 5: Putin kept bombing living quarters during Russian-Ukrainian negotiations.
- Day 7: Missiles attacked and ruined the center of Kharkiv with its largest square in Europe.
This should be stopped. Now.
During the very first day of the war, Russia also destroyed 80% of the small town called Shchastia, which is in Luhansk Province in Ukraine. For all our foreign friends, Shchastia translates as “happiness”.
And here is deep symbolism in that: if we don't act today, there might be no chance to be happy tomorrow. Along with threatening the well-being of the Ukrainian nation, this war threatens the values of the whole civilized world.

5 Ways To Help Ukraine as a Foreigner and Beyond
Not only soldiers, doctors and authorities can end this. Any feasible help is a grand contribution now. Depending on your resources and abilities, you can:
1. Help 7.5M Of Ukrainian Children
150,000 mothers have fled the country to keep their children safe, surviving the hell of overcrowded evacuation trains. Millions more are staying in even harsher circumstances under the siege. Supplies shortage, lack of baby food and water, and extreme childhood trauma is the reality of 7.5M of Ukrainian children right now.
How to Help Children:
- Donate to Unicef Initiative to Save Ukrainian Children
- Donate to Voices of Children Fund
- Donate to Save The Children Ukraine
2. Donate to Help Army and Civilians
Rusian agression is outrageous: troops are bombing hospitals, orphanages, civil houses, and schools. Over 2,000 civilians have already been killed in the war, many more were wounded. And around 30M of Ukrainians will be dealing with terrible consequences the tragedy brought.
How to Help Civilians:
- Donate to Red Cross of Ukraine, Revived Soldiers Ukraine, and Doctors Without Borders to help wounded.
- Donate to United Help Ukraine, The International Rescue Comitee, and Razom for Ukraine to help Ukrainians with food, supplies, and support families.
Ukrainian army has gathered over $200M in donations within a week. That's quite impressive, but Russian troops keep advance and raises more people across the country, so Ukraine still needs support.
How to Help Army:
- Donate to Come Back Alive
- Donate to National Bank of Ukraine Special Account
- Donate to Monobank Army Support Account
3. Host Ukrainian Refugees and Help Locally
Over 1M of Ukrainians had to flee the country to seek shelter in the near abroad. Most of them had to leave the country without sufficient resources for living. If you are from nearby country like Poland, Hungary, Romania, Moldova, or Slovakia, you can especially help.
How to Help Locally:
- If you can provide organized assistance, please contribute to this doc.
- Join AirBnB initiative to become a free host for Ukainian refugees.
Join a Protest in Your City, Especially Russians
Protests are held all around the world. The most active countries for now are Georgia, Germany, Netherlands, Poland, and more. Every voice matters!
How to Help with Protests:
- Print anti-war posters in more than 30 European languages

It especially should concern you, if you're living Russia. People die of Ukraine because of YOUR president. You are a 140,000,000 country with less than 900,000 security forces scattered across the country. Save your children, stand for your future and let's bring down the regime together!

Epom and Its Team in the War Time
Actions above words. We have already donated $2M for the needs of the Ukrainian army. The company keeps donating smaller sums to humanitarian funds to help civilians.

Part of our marketing team stuck aboard coordinate media, organize interviews with witnesses, and do everything to spread truth. Our developers joined the ranks of Ukrainian cyber army.
How to Support Ukraine as a Business
As a business, you can have many more capabilities to help than just a one single person. So you can double, or triple efforts to donate, help refugees, or spread information. Write a company statement, make a newsletter, share your position in social media.
What's more, you can come up with a unique solution you can offer to Ukrainians.
Examples: AirBnB provides free accommodation, Wizzair offered over 100,000 free flights for Ukrainian refugees, many SaaS companies gift free subscriptions and cancel invoices.
Your business should support Ukraine today, or tomorrow can be late for the whole world.
