4. Protest and boycott companies that are not withdrawing from russia

Using the services of companies that have not left the russian market, people are simultaneously supporting the war. The cause-and-effect relationship is quite simple: a person buys something → the company makes a profit → and pays taxes to the state budget of russia → which buys weapons with this money. Even if you are in another country and taxes are paid there, supporting companies that have not left the russian market gives them tacit consent to their position.

You can get acquainted with the list of such companies here: www.dontfundwar.com

5. Hire and host  Ukrainians

Since the beginning of the full-scale war, more than 5.6 million people have fled Ukraine. These are women, children, and the elderly. Each of them needs housing and food, and many feel strong enough to work.

Support Ukrainians in your cities.

6. Post in social medias

But please use only verified information:

1. Disinformation is a part of the russian war. Look for reliable and fact-checked news.

2. Use correct wording

• It’s not “russian-Ukraine conflict”, it’s  “russian-Ukraine war”
• 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

3️. Share as much fact-based information about russian aggression as you can

4️. Do not post any information about the movement of Ukraine’s Armed Forces

‍

7. Read and share only verified information about Ukraine and russia’s attack
