As the war in Ukraine hits the one-year mark, civilians inside the country and those who have fled desperately continue to need humanitarian aid. CNN’s audience, compelled to help by the news from Ukraine, have contributed more than $8.1 million across 80,000 donors, to aid organizations working in the region over the course of the year-long war.
