It’s a challenge to get items exactly where they are needed most. Therefore, Ukraine Aid Ops has set up direct, supplier-to-people-on-the-ground pipeline in Ukraine, which has proven effective for matching demand and supply.

We are different from many other groups helping in Ukraine because we are a registered public charity in the US and Ukraine, which means our finances are subject to strict oversight helping safeguard your donations. 

Supportive governments are doing a lot. But the need in Ukraine still far outstrips the supply, due to the massive stockpiles which the russians possess and which they have dedicated for to their ambition to destroy Ukraine. Grass roots initiatives like ours are
still very necessary and welcomed by the Ukraine government, especially for the
supply of smaller items like drones, helmets, ifaks, cars & night vision.

Ukraine Aid Ops is run by volunteers. This means that almost all donations (currently over 89%) go to towards buying and delivering aid and protective equipment, with a small percentage going to necessary overhead like warehouse rent, logistics and fees (for example for passing being audited). We regularly publish the results of our fundraisers. The recent tax-filing for our US foundation was in March 2025.

In our UAO Transparency Report, you receive a detailed overview regarding how we use your donations.

This is a great question, and one you should definitely be asking. We are officially registered in Ukraine, UK and the US (where we have the 501(c)(3) charity status), including the valid requirements in terms of accounting and paperwork. Hence, you can rely on that donations go to the designated purpose.

To help show our legitimacy, we can show you photos and videos of units receiving equipment from us. Here are just a few examples of 100+ units we’ve delivered to:

We hand aid, protective equipment and vehicles directly to units in Ukraine that are in harm’s way. This includes medical groups, territorial defense, national guard, regular army and international volunteers that we vet carefully through our deep local network to determine their legitimacy.
