February 2025 – To mark the third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian Student Organizations (USOs) across Canada united in a national fundraising effort to support Ukraine’s defenders. Through a variety of student-led initiatives—including bake sales, film screenings, awarness exhibits, info tables and community events—these dedicated groups successfully raised $3,000.
The funds have already been sent to CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION “INTERNATIONAL CHARITY FOUNDATION ‘SUPPORT SERVICE'”, founded by a Ukrainian veteran. This foundation works directly with frontline brigades, ensuring that aid reaches those who need it most. This donation will directly support 8 brigades, including: 41 ОМБр; 100 ОМБр; 128 ОБрТрО; 79 ОДШБр; 420 ОББПС; 140 ОРБМП; ОМГ ГУР;

Standing with Ukraine
This initiative reflects the unwavering commitment of Ukrainian students in Canada to stand with Ukraine. Three years into the full-scale war, the need for support remains urgent. Every effort—whether through donations, events, or raising awareness—makes a real impact.
We encourage everyone to stay engaged, continue supporting Ukraine, and take action in their communities. Together, we stand with Ukraine.
