Beginning May 1 RISU’s English-version has no funding. Please support us now
Our goal is USD 10,000 per year. This is enough to give us the chance to translate and edit news, interviews, and analytical articles, form reference materials on different church and religious organizations in Ukraine, monitor other news sources, and prepare our own articles. This is enough to sustain our present activity but not enough to fulfill our plans of future growth.
