How can I help? And where do Ukrainians coming to Vienna find help?

The current events unfolding in the heart of Europe leave all of us shocked and speechless. We‘ve compiled a list of useful links and addresses for those who seek help and those who want to do something. Feel free to contact us for any questions or if you have information to share.
