Want to help Ukraine? These California organizations need your support

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been described by President Biden as an “unprovoked and unjustified attack.”

The urgency of the situation isn’t new to organizations in California and elsewhere that have been helping Ukrainians affected by fighting that dates to Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea and other territorial moves.

Eliza Gorham Shaw, a spokesperson for the International Committee of the Red Cross, said Red Cross teams have witnessed how the violence has affected people daily — on personal, psychological and emotional levels.
