Prof. Timothy Snyder, a renowned American historian and writer, mentioned Unite with Ukraine, a fundraising platform run by the Ukrainian World Congress, as a destination for donations from those who would like to top up the support provided to Ukraine by the U.S. government with their personal contribution.
“I get asked why Americans should donate to Ukraine, given that our government is supporting the Ukrainian government,” Snyder said in his blog.
“This is a perfectly reasonable question. Total U.S. [aid] to Ukraine amounted to about one cent of your tax dollar last year (and some of that was loans, and much of that was payments to U.S. companies). Some people might want to do more, especially those who believe that the outcome of the war will shape the century to come. Beyond that, donating personally to specific causes can reach people directly, following our own values,” says the scholar.
