United For Ukraine

United for Ukraine (UFU) is an internationally operating non-profit organisation founded on the third day of the full-scale Russian invasion to provide emergency support to Ukrainians, both abroad and inside Ukraine. From the very beginning, UFU was built on the foundation of expertise and technology-based solutions. Dozens of professionals — lawyers, technologists, communicators, and humanitarians — came together across continents to create a fast, scalable, and human-centred response. Established and launched in Switzerland in February 2022, UFU operates internationally and has built a robust structure, processes and policies to enable fast and effective operation. In 2023, recognising the need for a local presence and cost optimisation, UFU established a Ukrainian legal entity and began working with internally displaced persons (IDPs). By December 2024, the Swiss entity was formally closed, transferring payroll staff and operations to Ukraine. Through established vetting procedures, UFU Platform became a trusted ecosystem of verified information sources, trusted partners, and communication channels. What sets us apart is our direct communication. We are not a static website — we are a living, real-time response to current needs. We continuously analyse requests, update content, and adapt structure — not reactively, but strategically. This allows us to move faster than traditional institutions and large NGOs.
