These are some sites that I have found bringing aid directly to the Ukraine military and peoples. I cannot personally attest to them, use your judgement. I have no affiliation with them in any way.
There are many other general humanitarian sites, and they are excellent, but a number of the sites listed here address the immediate defense needs of the Ukraine people. Some link-forwarding is used from Rebrandly to handle Google Translate links.
Please pray and meditate for peace, and for the safety of the Ukrainian people and the entire world as a result of this heartless aggression. Thank you, and please encourage others to support a democratic country under siege in any way they can. Freedom isn't free and we all share this one little planet.

"Come Back Alive (Povernys Zhyvym), one of the most accountable and trustworthy charities working for the military in Ukraine since 2014.

"Another Kyiv-based charity Army SOS raises money to support the Ukrainian military with necessary ammunition, shields, communication devices, and more. They say they focus on providing direct assistance to those soldiers who are on the very front line."
Very serious, really for Veterans only, this is how to directly enlist in the Ukraine Army, or more specifically, the International Legion of Ukraine, consisting of foreign citizens wishing to join the resistance against the Russian occupants and fight for global security.
