So "legit donations" for example, is not a fact but opinion. And, truthfully, giving money to "the wrong people" can do harm. The Red Cross collected billions for Haiti, and reportedly, not much got to Haitians.
I'd rather see money spent locally to stop our American government from war mongering. But that's just my opinion.

I'd rather see money spent locally to stop our American government from war mongering. But that's just my opinion."The first victim of war is the truth." So you are right, the Western MSM is awash with a certain narrative that wants us to think in a certain way. Nothing new about this, has always happened.
To get a more nuanced view of what actually is happening search for John Mearsheimer's lecture "Why is Ukraine the West's fault?"at the U of Chicago that he did in 2015, It has 25M views on YouTube.
Of course this doesn't in any way minimize the suffering that is going on in Ukraine. So giving money to the right people is more important than ever. I just read about how the ARC botched their Haiti operation after raising half a billion. So if the ARC can screw it up you have to be even more careful.
I have contacts in Eastern Europe and Ukraine to legitimate organizations who are doing relief work. Organizations that I have donated my money to and where I am certain the money gets to the intended party and not just burned up in administrative fees.
If you are interested I can provide the contacts to these people.
