Great work, but I think you mean to say that wheat and sunflower seeds are Ukraine’s largest EXPORTS, not imports.

I caught that and it is fixed, thanks.

Thank you for doing this! And thank you for highlighting that people of color (many of whom appear to be international students) may be having an especially hard time fleeing. That's something I wasn't aware of. The article you linked to led me, via Twitter, to two grassroots groups supporting Africans fleeing Ukraine: https://lnkj.in/p/nido/ (focusing on Nigerians but also on other African nationals) and https://linktr.ee/BlackPeopleInUkraine. Full disclosure, the donation options are Cashapp or Paypal links; I don't believe these are registered charities. (Not a criticism--it takes time and money to register!)

I wasn't able to find any similar resources for Indian nationals or other persons of color trying to flee, but I'd be interested to hear if others know of any.

Andrew, for your fundraiser class consideration, how about including a savory pie in there or a potato bread? I love the theme.
