    about

    The Ukraine Underground is a 501(c)3 youth-led, grassroots non-profit dedicated to aiding those evacuating or remaining in Ukraine during the Russian Invasion.

    Founded on February 27th, 3 days after the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, The Ukraine Underground uses networks of volunteers throughout North America, Europe, and Asia to assist those affected by the war in any way, shape, or form.

    As of February 2023, more than 6 million Ukrainians have been forced to flee to neighboring countries — unsure about the future of themselves or their country. This forced exodus constitutes one of the largest exoduses in world history since World War II.

    As citizens of the world, we believe it is our responsibility to stand up to injustice and tyranny globally to construct a better world. As Dr. Martin Luther King stated in 1963, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

    Safety Disclaimer
    ⬆️
    While we are committed to assisting as many people as we can, we are unable to provide help to all who request, and are not liable for any injury possibly experienced due to our direction. The nature of the Russian invasion is constantly shifting, and therefore our instruction or direction cannot be guaranteed to help in all circumstances. We rely on information from volunteers and on-the-ground tips in Ukraine and surrounding nations for all assistance and research purposes.

    Our Team

    Our team is made of a large network of volunteers — all truly committed to the work they do. Because of the nature of the war, The Ukraine Underground respects requests for volunteers to remain anonymous. Here, you can find our Executive Board & the Board of Directors.
