The festivals and organizations of the SHAPE platform would also like to use this opportunity to invite the audience to show their support to Ukraine and its people, who are now suffering because of Russia’s invasion, by supporting their favourite Ukranian artists or making a donation. Two suggestions are the National Bank of Ukraine's fund for Humanitarian Assistance to Ukraine, or the charity Help Ukraine Center, where humanitarian aid and donations are accepted, and transported directly into Ukraine from a warehouse in Poland.
