Ukraine - three months already (info)
3 years ago
It has been three months since 24 Feb 2022, when FA suddenly got a flood of new Journals and artwork saying "OMG we're being bombed", and the three month old so-called "Special Military Operation" is still going on. Here are some links to help highlight the people who have been affected and what you can do to help them (and get a ~50% of getting free art).
Urgent needs (updated, circa 8 June):
Dogava [added 7 June] <-- is URGENTLY trying to raise enough money to be able afford to flee from Russian-occupied territory
[update, 26 May: has been helped] <-- needs emergency commissions or donations to help escape occupied territory (Kherson), see here or here
GhostlyDog <-- lost their job and has no income other than Patreon and is depressed, wants to earn money to visit a psychiatrist. see here

By 24 May 2022, the front line extends from the city of Kharkiv in the northeast to the city of Mykolaiv in the south and has been changing only very slowly. Here is a list of villages, towns and cities near the 'front line' fighting: Kharkiv [UA recently retook several surrounding suburbs/villages so Kharkiv may be out of artillery range]; Vovchans'k (town on the Russian border, 60km NE of Kharkiv, on the E bank of the Siverskyi-Donets River, 2021 est. population 17,747) [Russian controlled transportation/logistics route]; Izyum [Russian held, the forward headquarters of its operations to conquer Donbas]; Rubizhne (suburb NW of Severodonetsk, 2021 est. population 56,066) [taken by Russia/LPR/PPR ~12 May]; Severodonetsk/Lysychansk [UA held, mostly evacuated cities, under attack]; Popasna (a town <formerly> of ~20,000 people) [destroyed & the ruins taken by Russia ~8 May]; Horlivka [DPR controlled since 2014]; Toretsk&New York [UA controlled towns just a couple kilometers from Horlivka]; Donetsk [DPR controlled since 2014]; Huliaipole [UA]; Polohy [Russian-controlled]; Zaporizhzhia [UA, safe(ish)]; Nikopol' [UA, fighting nearby but safe(ish)]; Kyrvyi Rih [UA, safe(ish)], Mykolaiv [UA, shelled for months but calmer lately], Odessa [UA, not under direct attack while Mykolaiv stands, but regularly hit by ballistic & cruise missiles]. By 14 June, Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces said there is a 2,450 kilometer-long (1,522 miles) frontline and that Russia was concentrating its main efforts in the northern part of the Luhansk region.
