Special projects

Get NFTs to help Ukrainians

Marking 22 months since russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, we at Helping to Leave are launching a special project: an NFT collection that consists of unique images and the real stories of Ukrainians evacuated from the areas of military conflict.

The number '22' commemorates the 22 months of the ongoing brutal war (as of December 2023) and also represents the year the full-scale invasion began.

Territories are people

We stand with the people of Ukraine who are living under occupation. We support their freedom, and their right to defend this freedom from russian oppression.

Voices

Here we share the stories of people we have helped and our volunteers involved in the evacuation of Ukrainians. We tell the stories of systematic human rights violations in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. Deportation, interrogations, cell phone checks, and more — this is the reality of life under occupation.

Our Team

The project was created on February 24, 2022 by just a few like-minded people — then it was a chat in the Telegram messenger. Now we are a team of more than 300 volunteers around the world who help Ukrainians both remotely and on the ground.
