I checked briefly. Looks like it's going to BlueCheck Ukraine, a charity created last year by another actor to "fast track money to charities". Could totally do legitimate work, but a charity that exists solely to funnel money to other charities as quickly as possible sets off a few red flags for me.
Not to mention the totally legitimate concern that any money collected for humantarian aid (itself a good thing) could just get co-opted by the government. I would sooner directly support humantarian causes that are explicitly delivering goods that could only be useful to the displaced civilians.
