As of today the full scale war on Ukraine has been going on for 9 months now, since 24 February.

While people in the USA 🇺🇸 give thanks for what they have and celebrate a holiday with turkey dinners,
people in the UA 🇺🇦 'celebrate' 9 months of Russian military 'operations' with electricity blackouts and no heat or running water.

Here is a quick sample of how things are going for some artists who live in Ukraine (several ask for help for things from food & medicine to iPads & generators):
 AV_Malina -- A day of total blackout
 Carota17 -- News 23.11 (No light)
 PistachioHorror -- Blackout & Asking for help [again]
 ~RIZONIK~ -- ✨ News ✨(no light)
 Aldrick -- Bavovnyatko by ~RIZONIK~
 Dreyk-Daro -- Important information
 Bisamon -- see the note at the top of her profile page, "due to the fact that the russian missiles are hit by the power supply, my lights go off every 2 hours for 2 hours. because of this my work may be delayed. sorry for the wait!"
 YunnyLynx -- another 24h without electricity
 groodger -- Just had 30 hour long blackout and I need your help
 Almatea -- My country is being hurt again. ❤️‍🩹
 Free-Opium -- Sketch slots 27/30 (NSFW)
 whisperingstone -- Here we go again... (🇺🇦)
 andr0meda -- Massive rocket attacks! Help! Blackout!
 LiaNate -- News 23.11 (no water and electricity)
 URItsuyo -- 23.11
 nesteaisnasty -- – peace to Ukraine (+small update on blackouts)
 FelanGrey -- Still alive
 Veelzevul1 -- ❗My current state❗
 Gocememon -- Electricity problems 😅

the length of that list of people who have made recent posts shows the extent of the problems in Ukraine in the last few days
but there are many others who may not be able to access the internet at all right now due to the blackouts in their country,

so check my previous Journal about Ukrainians who have asked for help recently,

and check out these resources:

 UArt -- collaborative account for a large group of Ukrainian artists

 PistachioHorror's BIG journal at https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10138995/ is an irregularly updated list of artists/furries from 🇺🇦Ukraine🇺🇦 that need help or support due to the effects of the Russian 'special military operation'.

Links to the six Ukraine regional focus Journals:
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10264842/ -- Kyiv region Ukraine artists, furries, and stories on FurAffinity
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10246683/ -- NE & East-Center Ukraine artists, furries, and stories on FurAffinity <-- near Russia makes them easy targets
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10225029/ -- Kharkiv/Kharkov region artists, furries, and stories on FurAffinity <-- there is still military action here
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10203165/ -- Donbas/Donbass region artists, furries, and stories on FurAffinity <-- have been living with war for 8+ years!!!
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10230885/ -- Southern Ukraine region artists, furries, and stories on FurAffinity <-- the 🇺🇦 situations may be worst here
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10255501/ -- Central & Western Ukraine artists, furries, and stories on FurAffinity

or search for people who need help:

Some searches:
https://www.furaffinity.net/search/.....aine|Ukrainian <-- general search for Ukraine or Ukrainian things
https://www.furaffinity.net/search/.....krainianartist <-- similar keyword search
https://www.furaffinity.net/search/.....iv|Volyn|Rivne <-- big search (includes lots of Ukrainian oblast and city names).
_{[I sometimes use these myself, to find new art and artists.]}

finally,  ghost738589 hasn't asked for help but probably needs some anyway (just opened commissions, see their most recent post)


One easy thing you can do to help is to "signal boost" for Ukrainian artists. Either for the 'big Journal' or the 'regional focus' Journals (see the list of 6 above or at the top of any of them, like here) or for specific individuals, like any one of the examples above.
