Ever since Vladimir Putin announced the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Russian forces have been launching missile strikes on Ukrainian cities, shelling military and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine, and advancing across the country with the goal of overthrowing the democratically elected Ukrainian government. Russian forces have indiscriminately targeted kindergartens, hospitals, orphanages, and aid corridors, forcing millions of people to flee or seek safety in bomb shelters.

HRF is partnering with Operation Sunflower, a coalition of Ukrainian and American relief teams delivering aid to Ukrainians trapped in the conflict zone. Our coalition is working directly with the Ministry of Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine, local district leaders, Ukrainian business leaders, NGOs, civil society organizations, and volunteers to coordinate, receive, and distribute aid throughout 12 of Ukraine’s most vulnerable regions.

Donations to the Ukraine Solidarity Fund go directly toward providing stable shelf food, sterile medical equipment, essential medicines needed for survival, baby formula, diapers and creams, feminine care items, and other life-saving goods that are out of stock in regions under invasion and bombardment. Through our partnership with Operation Sunflower, HRF’s Ukraine Solidarity Fund was able to raise $300,000+ for humanitarian aid for over 1 million crisis-affected people inside Ukraine.

Your support also provides the ability to fulfill the ongoing logistical capabilities needed to deliver aid in a time of extreme crisis; this includes drivers, insurances, gas, landing fees, shipments, boxes, and payments for those risking their lives to get aid into Ukraine.
