2. Don't know anything about them?

I follow expat Ukraine and they are helping people across all the borders, providing them information on places to stay on both sides, what they can expect, who is there to help them at each crossing and have never heard one word about anybody giving out cash.

For Semyon Dukach, pulling up to Boston’s Logan Airport last Friday with $5,000 in cash, bound for the Ukrainian border, wasn’t completely out of the ordinary. Dukach, a Soviet refugee-turned MIT blackjack player-turned venture capitalist, is used to hustling — and dealing with large sums of money.

....

Last week, while consuming a torrent of news about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, he said he felt “useless.” His wife Natasha, who identifies as Ukrainian, was trying to secure housing for refugees fleeing the country, but he decided they could do more. The next day, they were on a flight from Boston to Romania via Munich, with cash in hand and a simple plan in mind: try to help refugees who need it.



After landing in Romania, they drove six hours to the country’s border town of Siret, near the southwest of Ukraine. There, they found a depressing scene: women and children waiting in long lines to cross into Romania, bundled in the cold, being dropped off by their husbands and fathers, who bid them goodbye. (Around 660,000 Ukrainians have fled their country, recent UN estimates show.)

They started out trying to secure housing for refugees crossing the border. But soon, they realized many bed and breakfasts in the area were already offering free housing, and nonprofits were providing food, blankets, and transportation. “What we realized,” Dukach said in a phone interview from Romania, “was that what women and children really needed was some money.”
