Ask HN: How should I Help Ukraine?

I personally would not want to get too deep into the fray as there may be future blow-back or accidental misdirection that leads to friendly fire or unintended escalation.

That said I could see some benefit in researching organizations that help rescue refugees from war torn countries such as IRC [1] and contribute a sensible amount. Disclaimer: I had some past indirect associations with IRC. There are many other organizations that also help refugees.

Thank you. I had thought of helping refugees and let that thought slip away in my frustration. I think that is a great idea.

About blow-back, I have thought about that, but I am not worried. I am a bit of a nobody, especially in this. There are people doing much braver things than anything I will do. If some Russian bots or fanatics want to down vote my apps or whatever, so be it.
