That's almost as much as the Canadian truckers raised overall.

The Canadian government stole the truckers' first 10 million, though.

No doubt the Ukrainian politicians will get to keep this money.

Yes, donations to one of the world’s most corrupt countries. Better to donate to an organization that will actually help the Ukrainian people.

They are begging for mercs and monetary donations. We’re giving them all the weapons they need and the citizens are supposedly all-in on defending their country. And yet they’re allegedly handing the Russians their asses? This has become a Monty Python skit.

I have emailed my former Polish girlfriend (very lovely woman but we split after MERKEL yanked my residency) if she knows of any Polish charities caring for Ukrainian refugees. I will let everyone know what I hear. I don’t trust Red Cross or anything Catholic. The refugees are ending up not far from where I planned to get a retirement house near the Slovakian Ukrainian border. (Family is Polish and escaped the Soviets).
