Help Ukraine Stay Warm Throughout the Winter - a Social Enterprise crowdfunding project in London by Russian Democratic Society

The ongoing war has devastated Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, placing the country on the brink of a humanitarian crisis. 

We have already raised £6,833 and bought 11 electricity generators 2.5kW and 5 sleeping bags for Ukraine. We partner with “Warm for Ukraine”, which delivers them from Poland to Kyiv, Ukraine.

Unfortunately, the situation is getting worse every day, shelling continues, and it is very difficult to restore the destroyed energy system. In Zoryans'ke village, Kharkiv region, almost daily shelling continues, and people live in difficult conditions with a completely destroyed water supply system. To fix it, we need to buy a powerful electricity generator of at least 20kW, which costs approximately £13000. With extra funding, we will buy smaller generators at a cost of about £600.

Every donation does matter. Let’s help Ukraine stay warm throughout this winter!

Russian Democratic Society is a transformative Community that started back in January 2021 when Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny returned home after his rehabilitation in Germany from poisoning with Novichok. He faced severe struggles and was arrested upon his return. It was an eye-opening event for most Russians as well as people in other countries. We could not help but take to the streets of our cities to protest against the criminal actions of our government.

In February 2022, another shocking event, the war with Ukraine, roused us to stand up against the terror committed by Russia. We help Ukraine as best we can, including raising donations to provide much-needed support to people in Ukraine and refugees fleeing the war.

Unlike people who live in Russia, we can and must use our freedom of expression rights and show our support to repressed and arrested fellows in Russia. Our ethical course highlights the fundamental issues in Russia, such as; censorship, freedom of speech, human rights discrimination, social issues, corruption and economic issues.

By adopting a white-blue-white flag, the symbol of Free Russia, Anti-War Protest and Russian Opposition, we embrace a strategy of empowering the community from the ground up, facilitating leadership opportunities and advocating for changes with a real impact. Together with our allies and partners, Russian Democratic Society engages activists in the UK and other countries.
