Supporting Ukraine
Since 2014, the Association of Ukrainian Organisations in Estonia has been supporting Ukraine – from the Revolution of Dignity to today: helping defenders and civilians, standing up for Ukraine’s interests on international platforms and telling the world the truth about the war.
Since the Headquarters closed, the Association has continued to support Ukraine constantly:
- We send aid to Ukraine’s defenders and civilians and run fundraisers for specific needs: aid from Mrs Aimi; a generator for the Good People community.
- We take part in advocacy conferences and amplify Ukraine’s voice on international platforms: Nordic Ukraine Advocacy Summit and Copenhagen Democracy Summit; Human Rights Conference in Estonia.
- We organise actions and join global campaigns in support of Ukraine: STOP HUMAN SAFARI / SAVE KHERSON; “Holidays on the Front Line”.
- We hold events – exhibitions, concerts, film screenings and community meetings: exhibition “Colours That Bring Life Back”; Day of Ukrainian Unity meeting.
Every day, the Association receives requests for the needs of the Armed Forces, which is why donations for the support of the Ukrainian people are ongoing!
Please remember: everyone can make a contribution to support Ukraine. Any donation is valuable, essential and vital!
You can join the fundraiser at any time:

Already during the Revolution of Dignity, representatives of the Association travelled to the Maidan in Kyiv and took part in actions in support of Ukraine. After the start of Russian aggression in 2014, the Association and its member organisations held their own actions, charity concerts and prayers for Ukraine in Estonia, raised funds and sent aid to Ukraine.
- Charity concert “From Estonia to Ukraine” (22.10.2014, Nordea Concert Hall, Tallinn) – raising donations for medicines for victims of the war; performers included Ivo Linna, Birgit Õigemeel, Tõnis Mägi, “Svjata Vatra” and “Haidamaky”; the mixed choir “Ukraina” represented the Association and the “Prosvita” society
- Volunteers of Estonia (October 2014) – fundraising together with MTÜ Vaba Ukraina for medicines for the ATO zone
- Prayer for Ukraine, for peace and calm (November 2014)
- Charity concert and campaign “Battle for Independence – 2015” (17.09.2015, Teachers’ House, Tallinn)
- Hosting 15 children from Ukraine (09.01.2016) – the Association welcomed the children and held workshops for them (according to the Integration Foundation)
- Flash mob “United by the Flag” for Ukraine’s National Flag Day (August 2019)
- Volunteer humanitarian mission (July 2020)
The headquarters was established in February 2022 and operated actively during the first months following russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, providing various forms of assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Ukrainian civilians.
The Ukraine Aid Headquarters was set up in February 2022, in the first days of Russia’s full-scale invasion, and worked actively during the first months of the war, providing a wide range of aid to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and to civilians. The Headquarters later ended its work, but aid to Ukraine has not stopped: the Association continues to send help on an ongoing basis.
Since day one, the Headquarters:
- A hotline for displaced persons with six telephone numbers and a telegram channel Estonia - Information for Displaced Persons (Естонія - Інформація для переселенців) was created. Thanks to this, Ukrainians can receive information on issues such as evacuation, accommodation, education, medicine, financial assistance, insurance, legalisation of pets' stay, etc.;
- Transportation of humanitarian aid to Ukraine was organised;
- A logistics unit began its operation, organising transport for refugees coming to Estonia and for volunteers going to Ukraine to defend their homeland from the russian invasion;
- Caring residents of Estonia (legal entities and individuals) provided clothing, furniture, appliances, dishes, toys, and other necessities to displaced Ukrainians;
- Many events took place to help with the adaptation process, such as free excursions, workshops for children, informational meetings, psychological support, and participation in state-organised events to familiarise Estonians with the culture and traditions of Ukrainians.
dopomogo.com was an information service created in 2022 by a team of IT volunteers under the Association's auspices to help Ukrainians forced to go abroad find new connections and support one another — sharing services, responding to compatriots' offers and preserving national identity. In 2026 the project concluded its work — read more about the conclusion of DOPOMOGO.
Thanks to close cooperation with the Union of Ukrainian Youth, which is currently engaged in the volunteer movement in Ukraine and provides logistics, all humanitarian cargoes have reached their destination.
History: Aid for Ukraine Headquarters (2022 – early 2023)
During its work, the Headquarters involved more than 233 volunteers, purchased and sent 98 vehicles to the frontline, delivered over 100 tonnes of humanitarian aid, raised €829,278.83 in support of Ukraine, and sent the first tranche of medical equipment to Kyiv’s «Okhmatdyt» children’s hospital with the support of Tallinn Children’s Hospital.
