When war comes, the first ones to stand up to fight are the soldiers. With what we saw happen in Ukraine, it is recommended that civilians evacuate the cities that are under attack. Actually, it is estimated that there will be about 5 million Ukrainian refugees trying to escape to neighboring countries or even further, especially if they have family or friends there.

The UN refugee agency reports that by Wednesday morning New York time, more than 874k had people fled Ukraine and the number is constantly growing.

We wouldn’t know how we would react if our country was attacked, but what is clear is that those Ukrainians are very brave and know that even small acts can make big changes. We already have so many stories that have secured a place in history books, like the already mentioned sunflower lady.

Not only are Ukrainians showing resistance, the whole world has learnt that Putin doesn’t have a heart and that nobody in power is courageous enough to make him change his mind about the war in Ukraine. But Russian people are brave enough to go to the streets to protest as they didn’t want any of this to happen despite the fact that they almost certainly will be arrested and who knows when they will be released if that will happen altogether.

Other nations show support by going into the streets as well, surrounding the Russian embassy or vandalizing it, CEOs are breaking off business relationships with companies that profit Russia’s economy, and even social media is getting involved in all of this.

Someone came up with the idea to write Google Reviews for Russian businesses telling how rotten the regime is and how unnecessary the war is. Others are setting their Tinder location to big cities in Russia and when they get a match, they send pictures from Ukraine showing how Putin’s regime is making another country suffer.

If you would like to learn more about what is happening in Ukraine from the perspective of the people who are experiencing the war, Bored Panda has more articles, so here are a couple of them: this is our very first article reflecting the initial reaction people had when the war broke out the early morning of February 24, in this article you can see in what conditions people are living in the cities that are under attack, and this one is a personal story of an American trying to escape Ukraine to Poland and having to walk 20 hours to reach his destination.

Also, we remind you that the National Bank of Ukraine is still collecting funds to the special account UA843000010000000047330992708. You can find more information and make a card payment if you follow this link to the official NBU website.

Russian Oligarch Roman Abramovich Made A Statement He Is Selling His Chelsea Fc And Will Donate The Proceeds From The Sale To Help Victims Of The War In Ukraine

I would like to address the speculation in media over the past few days in relation to my ownership of Chelsea FC. As I have stated before, I have always taken decisions with the Club’s best interest at heart. In the current situation, I have therefore taken the decision to sell the Club, as I believe this is in the best interest of the Club, the fans, the employees, as well as the Club’s sponsors and partners.

The sale of the Club will not be fast-tracked but will follow due process. I will not be asking for any loans to be repaid. This has never been about business nor money for me, but about pure passion for the game and Club. Moreover, I have instructed my team to set up a charitable foundation where all net proceeds from the sale will be donated. The foundation will be for the benefit of all victims of the war in Ukraine. This includes providing critical funds towards the urgent and immediate needs of victims, as well as supporting the long-term work of recovery.

Please know that this has been an incredibly difficult decision to make, and it pains me to part with the Club in this manner. However, I do believe this is in the best interest of the Club.

I hope that I will be able to visit Stamford Bridge one last time to say goodbye to all of you in person. It has been a privilege of a lifetime to be part of Chelsea FC and I am proud of all our joint achievements. Chelsea Football Club and its supporters will always be in my heart.

Thank you,

Roman

Just to clarify folks-when he says 'proceeds' he means profits. When he says 'victims' of the war, he does not specify who. When he says 'long- term recovery' it isn't stated whether this will be as Ukraine or mini-Russia. Billionaires don't get that way from acts of altruism, and this is a very carefully worded statement.

Eventually I realized editing gives me the most enjoyment and I'm focusing only on that right now.
