Support for Ukraine
We support people on the ground.
UA-DE e.V.
Personal support, close to the people
We deliver humanitarian aid and hope to the regions of Ukraine most affected by the war and support the reconstruction of destroyed communities. Our primary focus is on the oblasts of Kharkiv, Kherson, Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, and Donetsk. Together with our local partners, we ensure that humanitarian aid reaches those who need it most—including people living in hard-to-reach areas near the front line.

About Us
UA-DE e.V. is run by six German and Ukrainian volunteers who contribute their professional expertise and personal experience to humanitarian aid.
Our roots go back to the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022. Since the very first days of the war, our founders have been actively engaged in humanitarian support for Ukraine. Together, we have delivered humanitarian aid worth more than €1.2 million and supported numerous relief projects.
To continue this commitment over the long term, we founded UA-DE e.V. in November 2024. Our active members are supported by a strong network of partner organizations, volunteers, businesses, and local contacts throughout Ukraine.
Thanks to our direct local partnerships and short decision-making processes, we can procure humanitarian aid according to actual needs and deliver it efficiently. All projects are planned and implemented together with our Ukrainian partners to ensure that assistance reaches those who need it most.
