Considering I have friends to stay with and know the country, I'm in a relatively good place and was wondering if there might be ways for me to help fellow-Ukrainians who don't know the culture and who don't speak English or German to get by. Anyone doing work or know who to get in touch with?
Hi, I'm Ukrainian-American and left Ukraine country for a work trip the week that the crisis began. After not being able to go back, I decided to come to Switzerland since I have connections here from when I studied at ETH.
I'd suggest checking some of the posts here:

Additionally, contacting any churches in your area.
Perhaps you should contact the government and see if they require you to help with translation.
