Hi, my name is Sasha Savransky. I have been a proud American citizen for over 30 years, but I was born and raised in Kharkiv, Ukraine. I know personally many people in Ukraine who are either displaced or remain in the cities severely bombarded by the Russian aggressors.
Ā 
PLEASE DONATE TO HELP THEM!Ā 
Ā 
My brother, Yevhen Zakharov, and his son, Boris, are currently in Ukraine, providing humanitarian assistance to people needing food, shelter, medicine, and money. Yevhen is the founder of one of the oldest and most prominent Ukrainian human rights organizations, the Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group.

Boris is a director of the Charitable Foundation ā€œHuman and Law.ā€ He also leadsĀ the Advocacy Center at the Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union.
Ā 
My brother and his son teamed up with volunteers in the USA, Israel, Poland, and Germany to purchase and deliver humanitarian aid to Ukraine and evacuate the most vulnerable groups from the hottest zones of the conflict. In addition, they provide targeted assistance to families of internally displaced persons and refugees, families of fallen and wounded soldiers, and other families who found themselves in difficult life circumstances as a result of the war.Ā 
Ā 
THIS MISSION WILL SAVE LIVES!
Ā 
Donated money will also be used to purchase and outfit ambulances to bring wounded soldiers and civilians into hospitals.Ā 
Ā 
I will accumulate the donations in a separate account in my name at Chase Manhattan Bank and wire the money to the two charities based in Germany and Ukraine. I will provide full transparency on future donation usage.
Ā 
WHY DONATE HERE? Your money will be used in Ukraine by the Ukrainians and help them win the war! This is the most direct way to help with immediate impact and with not one penny of your donation spent to run the charity.Ā

October 2026 Update

Dear donors!

A total of 41,380 UAH (approximately $911) was spent to support five torture survivors (three women and two men).

• Dental care: 20,000 UAH

• Medical examinations: 21,380 UAH

In conclusion, I would like to share a report by a KHPG member, Mikhail Romanov, a Candidate of Legal Sciences, which was delivered at the XXV Aleksanteri Conference in Helsinki. The report examines the underlying motives behind Russia's use of violence and intimidation against Ukrainian civilians, demonstrating that these are not random events but a consistent state policy. He writes that ā€œ the goal of this systemic pressure is to cultivate an atmosphere of fear, danger, and inescapable vulnerability—an environment in which human life is entirely devalued.ā€

However, Ukrainians refuse to give in to this pressure or give up their land. Instead, they counter it through widespread civic mobilization and the sheer nerve of ordinary citizens who refuse to stop working, keeping businesses running as usual to maintain economic and social resilience.

We are deeply grateful for your invaluable and generous support. Because our funds are currently critically low, we urgently ask you to give today to continue supporting these brave people and stand firmly by them in their unyielding fight for survival and freedom.

September 2026 Update

Dear donors!

Total expenses last month were 37,850 UAH (approximately $844). Of this amount:

 

Ā·        20,000 UAH for stomatological prosthetics for a victim of torture with knocked-out teeth.

Ā·        10,850 UAH for medical examinations and consultations for another two victims of torture.

Ā·        Another 7,000 UAH were allocated for a disabled person. First, he received 5,000 hryvnias. After sending a letter about his condition and that of his family. Later, he asked for another 2,000 hryvnias to conduct an MRI. Here is a fragment from his letter.

We live in Marhanka, Nikopol district, Dnipropetrovsk region. We are four people. My grandmother is retired, and my mother doesn’t work as she is a cancer patient. I have a sister who works as a gardener, and I currently cannot work because of my health. I have been disabled since childhood and suffered a stroke two years ago, after which half of my body is still paralyzed. My pension is 2,300 hryvnias and does not cover my medical expenses.

 

In conclusion, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your amazing support—your kindness truly means the world to those in Ukraine. As you are well aware, intensified Russian bombing campaigns are now targeting Ukrainian infrastructure, railroads, and warehouses. This deliberate destruction multiplies the suffering of innocent people caught in the conflict.

Please give today and share this link to help Ukrainians in dire need of medications and other vital supplies, and thank you for standing with the people of Ukraine during their darkest hours.

August 2026 Update

Dear donors!

Total expenses last month were 42,003 UAH (approximately $942). Of this amount:

Ā·        19,000 UAH went toward dental care for a torture survivor;

Ā·        17,003 UAH was spent on medical examinations for three victims of torture;

Ā·        3,000 UAH went toward vehicle repairs for units in the combat zone. Unfortunately, the state funds consistently fall short of covering the repairs. By the repair crews' most conservative estimates, refurbishing the engine in the bus used to transport personnel requires at least 50,000 hryvnias. And this is far from the only item in the list of urgent needs of the unit (primarily related to maintaining the operational efficiency of automotive equipment)

Ā·        3,000 UAH went to support a single, ailing woman from Kharkiv who is battling cancer. I want to share with you the fundraising post published on her behalf:

Help Agniya from Kharkiv to survive!

I understand that everyone is tired of the war, that everyone's problems grow into new problems, and that both at home and abroad, each of our worlds is changing drastically...

But don't let the stars go out - the twinkling of even one such particle makes the Universe Whole.

Agniya and her mother met the war in Kharkiv almost unaided. In winter, they lived for several days without windows - an explosive wave knocked them out. She boarded up the windows so they wouldn't freeze. Later, she buried her mother.

She didn't give up, and she even fed homeless cats. But last winter, they cut off the electricity, making survival even harder. As a result, her health deteriorated, and Agniya's weight is now only 37 kg.

She is almost alone in this world. Only responsive, kind hearts can help her.

She is battling cancer, and in September, she will undergo the 4th course of rehabilitation. Your 100, 200, 300 hryvnias, or more will greatly help her treatment. Goodness always returns to those who give it!

We are profoundly grateful for your steadfast support. Ukraine relies on our collective strength today more than ever, and your generosity sends a clear message that they are not alone. To help us keep pace with the growing demand for critical assistance, please consider making another gift and sharing this link to amplify our impact.

July 2026 Update

Dear donors!

  • The total expenses for the last month were 37,000 UAH (approximately $826). Of this amount:

Ā·        5,000 UAH – to a woman whose apartment was destroyed by a bombing on July 2nd; she lost all her belongings.

  • Ā·        3,000 UAH – to a large displaced family from Luhansk (they have five daughters).

  • Ā·        4,000 UAH – to a torture survivor for medical examinations.

  • Ā·        5,000 UAH – to cover Starlink costs for the "Triglav" UAV battalion. They evacuate the wounded and deliver ammunition, food, and water to forward positions, so they have a critical need for Internet access. What the state provides is not nearly sufficient, which is why they are constantly fundraising.

  • Ā·        20,000 UAH – to a torture survivor for dental treatment.

Thank you deeply for your ongoing support. Standing with Ukraine matters now more than ever, as we anticipate more requests for assistance after recent Russian bombings destroyed critical food and medical warehouses. Please consider supporting us again and sharing this fundraiser to help us meet these urgent needs.

June 2026 Update

Dear donors!

We hope you all had a great Independence Day weekend. As we reflect on this 250th anniversary, we express deep gratitude for your steady support, recognizing that true liberty is never a finished project but a value that requires constant work and care. This milestone reminds us that our own freedom is deeply connected to the global struggle for democracy, brought into sharp focus by the profound sacrifices made by the people of Ukraine. The fierce defense of their nation is a powerful reminder that when freedom is threatened anywhere, it risks being weakened everywhere. Thank you for standing with us and for your dedication to keeping the spirit of liberty alive and resilient.

The total expenses for the last month were 75,102 UAH (approximately $1685). Of this amount, 20,000 UAH went to each of two torture victims for medical treatment and dental prosthetics.

A woman from Chernihiv received 10,000 UAH following the deaths of five family members—her son, daughter-in-law, and three grandchildren—in an airstrike. Six months later, her husband passed away, and the only surviving family member—her second son—was mobilized for military service. She had requested funds for a shared memorial monument for all the deceased, and a portion of the sum was paid to her through your generous donations.

Of the remaining sum, 11,000 UAH was allocated for medication for three elderly pensioners who were sick, completely helpless, and living alone.

Finally, 14,102 UAH went toward medical examinations for eight individuals—three women and five men—torture victims and the wounded.

We thank you, as always, for your ongoing support, generosity, and dedication. Your generosity directly sustains the vital, everyday effort to safeguard independence and human dignity.

We hope you’ll consider supporting us again and sharing this fundraiser with your friends and family to help grow our impact.
