1. I tried to set up a way to do this a few days ago, but I'm just not capable enough to make it work.

I'd need a kindergarten tutorial.

2. of course our banks won't make it easy

...which is why many people are funnelling money to random Ukrainians through nice easy channels such as renting an AirBNB that can then house refugees or something.

I have not myself tried sending money to this bank account, so I don't know the details.

3. I did wire transfers to their Chase Bank acct.

Took a few tries to get the right info. Here’s the data you need. The Chase acct number is the first one, second one is to put in comments because chase will transfer the funds to National Bank of Ukraine acct.

Down side is my bank charges $25 per wire transfer.

ACCOUNT NUMBER: 400807238
BENEFICIARY BANK NAME: JP MORGAN CHASE BANK, New York
BENEFICIARY BANK BIC: CHASUS33
BENEFICIARY BANK ADDRESS: 383 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10017, USA
PURPOSE OF PAYMENT: for crediting account 47330992708
