Reliable Sources of Information

Following the news of Russia’s invasion in Ukraine is difficult and overwhelming, especially with the high amount of disinformation and propaganda circling around. Staying up to date and sharing verified news is of high importance which is why we have put together a number of trusted media outlets that provide live coverage from the war zone.

Important Platforms for Ukrainian Citizens

Many resources from various areas are mapped on this website, from shelter to food, transport, medicines, child care, pet care, translation, or other services. The platform is available in English, Ukrainian, Romanian, Polish, Russian, and Slovak, offering valuable information for both beneficiaries and people who can provide help.

Transportation & Communication

Wizz Air is offering Ukrainian refugees 100,000 free seats on flights in continental Europe departing from Hungary, Poland, Slovakia or Romania.The company also acknowledged that many refugees have already started moving and may be stranded in other locations, so it is offering them a 29.99 euro “rescue fare” on all other flights, excluding those to the UAE, Iceland and the Canaries. Ukrainian refugees may book the flights by visiting the website.  

Christian Tour and partners have launched the #TurismulAjuta campaign, which provides free transportation for Ukrainian refugees and assistance in finding accommodation for all those in need.

For those of you who are in contact with families in Ukraine who want to cross the border into Romania, the online application of the Border Police presents an average of waiting times at road crossing points. 

Be careful what source you get your information from and especially what you share on social media. Last but not least, be careful about scams. Unfortunately, even in situations like this, there are people looking to exploit others.
