Rob Hattrell, head of eBay Europe, said: “We have been distressed to see the impact the military action in Ukraine is having on those who are simply trying to live their lives.
“We hope swift help can be given to those who need it most, and call for anyone who can donate to do so.”
Every penny donated will go straight to the Red Cross, which is working inside Ukraine and at its borders to ease the suffering of those caught up in the conflict.
We launched our fund after heart-wrenching pictures of women and children fleeing the horrors moved readers to tears.
With most men not allowed to leave the country, the world has watched harrowing scenes of families broken up at the border posts, not knowing if they will ever be reunited.
