The situation in Ukraine’s capital remains extremely difficult. Kyiv continues to live and function amid an energy and heating crisis. Following a massive Russian attack, many residents are still without electricity, and some are also without heating. Outdoor temperatures occasionally drop to -15°C. However, support is possible. As part of the “Warmth from Poland for […]

A fundraiser for generators for the Ukrainian capital is underway, where after Russian attacks residents have been experiencing emergency power outages for over a week, along with heating and water supply disruptions. “The reaction of Poles exceeded our expectations.

The situation in Kyiv requires an immediate response. Thermometers in the Ukrainian capital are showing –17°C, and in these freezing conditions as many as 70% of the city’s residents remain cut off from electricity and heating. People are sheltering in unheated apartments and basements. They are layering clothes just to keep their bodies warm. Above […]

It has been almost a year – a year of struggle, fear, suffering, loss and hope. Hope for an end to the war in Ukraine. But in order for this scenario to have any chance of coming true, support is needed. Ukrainian soldiers certainly do not lack courage and determination, but the problem is the […]

The Open Dialogue Foundation, at the request of Onet’s correspondent in Ukraine Marcin Wyrwał, is running a fundraising to buy a pickup truck for Ukrainian drone operators. The entire amount for the vehicle has already been raised, but the fundraising is still ongoing to be able to fund a drone and other necessary equipment for the battalion from near Slovyansk in the Donbass.

The collection “Donbas Battalion needs support”, co-created by Karolina Baca-Pogorzelska, a journalist of “Wprost”, has exceeded the amount of PLN 60,000. The initial goal was to collect PLN 50,000, but the whip-round hasn’t finished yet. “We’re not done yet, because the needs are great,” Baca-Pogorzelska tells Press.pl. The “Wprost” journalist set up the collection with […]

Since February 25th the Open Dialogue Foundation has been on the forefront of both supporting the Ukrainian refugees fleeing to Poland, as well as – more uniquely – delivering humanitarian aid to those on the frontlines, specifically military-grade protective gear like bulletproof & anti-fragmentation vests or ballistic helmets, as well as other equipment like night-vision goggles, radio stations, drones or tactical accessories. Within the first 6 weeks we have provided some 20 thousand pieces of such equipment, including over 4500 bulletproof vests, all thanks to the generosity of our donors, who have given over 11 million zlotys to our cause (incl. PLN 3 million via our dedicated fundraiser at zrzutka.pl/PomocUkrainie). As documented recently by Onet.pl’s war correspondent Marcin Wyrwał, we are likely the only non-profit focused on this type of aid

Since the outbreak of war, we have received hundreds of requests for help every day. We were approached by soldiers from Lviv with an urgent appeal to help buy a vehicle for a reconnaissance unit.  Good mobility is vital in reconnaissance.  Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we were able to purchase a car that is now being used by a reconnaissance unit of the Ukrainian Army.

Many Poles contribute financially to organisations that help refugees from Ukraine, or support those left behind in the invaded country. What happens to the money you give? How is it used? Almost 2 million people from Ukraine, which was attacked and massacred by Russia, have already arrived in Poland. People have been fleeing death and […]
