I just cashed out the $365 in my credit card rewards, and will add a few $$ to that.

Ukrainians are not just a soup-centric, but also a digital-savvy people. I've been impressed with their inventions, especially the Sea Baby. Last year I read a comment in the Wall Street Journal by a software business owner who wrote that he's telling software business people he knows that Ukrainians are so digital-savvy that they should look into setting up shop in Ukraine after the war is over.

I had marked my calendar to make a donation to Razom before year end, but this message is timely. Professor Snyder, thank you for posting this message and appeal; I have made another donation to United24 and I am sharing this note and the United 24 page with friends and family. Слава Україні!

I'm in. I don't have much. My budget is very tight. And, I try to help as much as I can. I have been sending what I can throughout, and this is a wonderful opportunity to support Ukrainian innovation.

I landed in London on 24 Feb 2022, and had a few days there. I stood in Trafalgar Square with hundreds of Ukrainians and those who support them. They were pleading for the skies to be closed. The skies have still not been closed above Ukraine, but Safe Skies would go a long way toward saving thousands upon thousands of lives.

Thank you for this opportunity.

Sometimes you just have to try another card if you have one.

If I remember well, United24 will give us weekly updates about the amount raised.

I just made a donation, but not sure it went through either. I'll check my credit card purchases. Thank you Dr. Snyder for all that you do. Who knew someone from Centerville, Ohio would end up making a world of difference...teaching, writing, and being a living example to us all.

I tried twice to donate by credit card, but the donation was rejected by Visa. There is nothing wrong with my credit card. There may be something wrong with the way the site authenticates transactions. I would love to donate. Is there an alternative way to do so?

Donated but after I entered my credit card info, I just get a black United24 screen with the wheel of futility endlessly rotating so I'm not certain my donation went through. Anyone else experience this? I never received the code that some people have a referred to nor was I offered one. Thanks much.

Thanks Prof Snyder for your continuing support of the defense and to suggesting ways in which we can directly support the Ukrainian people.

Yes, I'll continue to donate through United24.

Defense systems of this sort are important for the necessary humanitarian protection of civilians, which protection is so needed given the Putin regime's brutal and criminal, wanton and indiscriminate aggression. They are extremely costly, but necessary.

The need also points to the immediate importance -- global importance -- to resume and expand development of improved understanding and effectiveness of international arms control agreements and institutions. Every nation has the responsibility -- real humanitarian responsibility -- to participate fully in the improved formation and expansion of every sort of international arms control.

Thank you so much for keeping Ukraine on everyone's mind. The Middle East crises seem to have taken over the world.

Thank you for being a United24 ambassador, Prof. Snyder. My donations to United24 started last year with your initial drone fundraiser, and I have continued contributing about every 4-6 weeks to the various projects. Now I will focus on the detection system until the goal is reached.

It is frustrating to me that the Congress members who oppose further support for Ukraine ignore the Ukrainians' fierce, tireless drive to help themselves--with global-scale crowdsourcing, for example, and development of new inventions out of almost nothing. They are not simply coming to Americans with their hands out, looking for a free ride. Pres. Zelensky turned down the ride on day one. Ukraine looks to its allies for partnership so the people can win their independence for themselves. They must prevail, and we must help.

I'm looking forward to your new book!
