And whatever you do OP, don't send funds to random organization's IBAN you find on the internet, unless you confirm them beforehand.
This particular organization is Army SOS, who describes themselves like this:
> Army SOS Citizen`s Initiative coordinates people`s efforts to help soldiers of Ukraine.
> We manage purchases of necessary ammunition, shields, intercommunication and reconnaissance facilities, uniforms and food supply. We deliver all goods directly to the unit`s emplacement and pass them right to the hands of our warriors.

Basically, civilian effort to help soldiers on the ground.
How do we know it's actually real and goes to Ukrainian fighters? Look them up in other reputable news-sources. Here are some:

Those sources all back up the website (they link to the same URL), so you can be relatively sure it's been verified. Also a bunch of politicians have mentioned the very same organization (unsure if they actually linked to it). Keep in mind that they have different bank numbers/IBAN shared depending on what currency you want to send over.
As soon as you see something on the internet you'd like to contribute to, make sure to verify, verify and verify it before you actually contribute, so you know you're actually contributing to the right thing.
- redwood 5y agoThank you since this one is seemingly well verified I'd like to get the word out
