This is a welcome development because Come Back Alive has been vastly underrepresented to the North American audience. It is overwhelmingly trusted by Ukraine's habitually skeptical public, and the govt's #1 recommendation among private charities for ZSU.

To show CBA's level of cred in Ukraine: they played key roles in the top-secret design of Ukraine's first long-range strike drones, the Beavers. To fund it, Ukraine's public stepped up to CBA's sight-unseen "Black Box" fundraiser to the tune of $6.4m USD.

So if you help such an org in any way, you help all of it indirectly. Come Back Alive's comprehensive operation is well-honed and you will help more here than through any non-Ukrainian org.

And I know by experience why this new site will be why some people can donate at all.

Always check for quality annual reports when you support organizations for Ukraine. Support Ukrainian-led organizations, with room for a few special cases (i.e. aiding international volunteers to confirmed, vetted units).

Come Back Alive's annual reports are 🥇.

And remember: if you help any vetted, legit org that has overwhelmingly positive Ukrainian reviews and publishes clear, transparent reports, the kind Ukrainians emphasize to ensure actual delivery of life-or-death important aid, you help all such serious charities.
