depends where you are you can and how far you want to go:

- Donate money to the red cross (Ukrainian Red Cross)

- Donate to the The Voices of Children Foundation

- and/or many more more: https://www.marieclaire.com/politics/how-to-help-ukraine/

- Get a car and go the Ukraine border with Poland and bring refugees to Europe (I see a lot of people doing it right now. Staying there by some train station with a "free transportation" sign)

- You can join the Ukraine foreigner legion https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/27/ukraine-appeal...

Thanks for the suggestions!

Ad Donations: So far that is the only viable thing I see. I guess its more a philosophical discussion but a bit unsure 'how far to go'. I am already regularly donating part of my income to charity and just recently graduated university - so donating more money to Ukraine would force me to make my current lifestyle cheaper (i.e. reducing the times I go for coffee, eat out, trying to reduce consumption overall) which, compared to what Ukrainiens are going through is obviously only a small sacrifice but on the other hand also feels a somewhat radical thing to do? Maybe I am just too much immersed in our capitalist society that lacks solidarity?

- Ad car: Unfortunately no car and quite far away.

- Ad Foreigner Legion: As mentioned in my question I explicitly don't want to support Ukraine army. I will, under no circumstances pick up a weapon to fight in a war.
