I’ve been sad and angry as Republicans in Congress blocked further aid to Ukraine. Thank you for this initiative that enables me to help in some small way rather than just rage against the evils in the world. Donated.

I'm in--again! I'm happy to chip in my small amount, to make Ukraine safer for my friends and colleagues (and ultimately, to keep my loved ones and me here safer as well). I will be volunteering in Ukraine in February. I finally, and happily, found a helpful way to put my skills to use there! I am using my upcoming trip to raise awareness and engagement among my friends and colleagues.

Thank you for all you do, Dr. Snyder!

Cameron, speaking after talks with Colonna in Paris, said that if the economies of Ukraine's Western partners are calculated together, “we outmatch the Russian economy by 25 to one or more.”

“What we have to do is make that economic strength and that commitment pay,” he said. “If we can, I have no doubt that we can make sure that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin loses and it's essential that he does lose.” United we stand 🇪🇺

I am delighted. In for the next round, too. Done my part, same amount as last time, I'm thrilled by the results of the previous campaign. We are definitely acting faster than our politicians and governments, but that's exactly the idea, I suppose.

Thank you so much for extending this fabulous program. I've seen it work on the videos provided by Ukraine and how well Ukrainians use their various tools and skills. You give me the ability to neither be angry nor fearful for Ukraine, but to be strong and relentless.

Thank you for this update on meeting the original goal. I donated to Safe Skies again yesterday and will donate monthly for as long as it takes to defeat Putin and rebuild Ukraine. I will also support the loss of elections by Putin supporting Republicans in any way I can.

Thank you. I donated. And passed on the message

Thank you for this message. I was wondering how we can help at this point.

I'm not sure if my contribution registered, since I didn't get any further code for final verification. If not, let me know.

Thanks for all you do for Ukraine.

Thank you Professor Snyder--donated what I could, and I share the frustration and anxiety that others have shared here with our Congress. May sanity overcome the madness.

Donated. Thank you Dr. Snyder for your leadership, for your great class on Ukraine and the fascinating (if often depressing because of the human toll they record) books you’ve penned on Eastern Europe.

Not that it’s at all relevant to this thread, but my favorite book of yours is: “The Red Prince: The Secret Lives of a Habsburg Archduke”. A short read and well written. Even has a Ukrainian angle.

Many thanks to Mr. Timothy Snyder for his help!! Ukrainians see and appreciate his incredible contribution as a scientist, publicist and intellectual in order for truth and law to prevail. Your voice has been loud since 2014, when most of the world's intellectuals were silent, and your almost daily against russian propaganda posts shed light on the beginning of the war. Thank you!

I give monthly to United 24. I find the app clunky and hard to use. It limits me to three choices for amounts, 50, 100 or $150 and often stutters when it takes my credit card. I know this is beyond your control, but a little attention to marketing on their end would help.

Congratulations, Prof. Snyder! Yes, please keep Safe Skies going! I'm a retiree on a monthly budget, and cannot make large single donations. But I can (and do) make small recurring donations.

An option after donating to United24 if the budget allows: Using ActBlue to support Democrats who are running against the Republican fifth column of Putin lackeys.

A bright new flag of Ukraine adorns my front yard. The one that I placed there in March 2022 finally wore out. The holiday season of new birth and hope seemed like a good time for the replacement.
