❗How can you help #Ukraine now? (THREAD)

#StopRussianAggression #SanctionRussiaNow #UkraineWillResist

1️⃣Disinformation is a part of Russian war. Look for reliable and fact-checked news.
2️⃣Use correct wording.
▪️Russian troops in Ukraine are not “peacekeepers”, they are invaders.

▪️The so-called “L/DPR” in eastern Ukraine are not “self-declared republics” or “breakaway regions”, they are the Russian puppet republics.
▪️The occupying forces are not “Russia-backed separatists” or “rebels”, they are Russian formed, led and financed proxy forces.

3️⃣Share as much fact-based information about Russian aggression as you can.
4️⃣Do not post any information about the movement of Ukraine’s Armed Forces.
5️⃣Reach out to your representatives in the parliament and urge them to support sanctions against the Russian Federation.

6️⃣Boycott Russian goods and services not to support the aggressor’s economy.
7️⃣Joining or organizing a rally in support of Ukraine in your city is helpful.
8️⃣You can send financial support to the Ukrainian army and volunteers, protecting their country against the aggression.
