A News UK spokeswoman said: “We are enormously proud to make a donation to The Sun’s Ukraine Fund — which will help to provide the much-needed supplies and aid to the Ukrainian people.
“A huge amount of humanitarian help has already been offered by the brave Red Cross to reduce the human cost of this conflict, and many more will need their support. We hope many Sun readers will also get behind the campaign.”
Every penny will go straight to the Red Cross, which is working inside Ukraine, at its borders and in neighbouring countries to ease the suffering of those caught in the conflict. Readers have been moved to donate after heart-wrenching coverage of the unfolding humanitarian crisis.
Red Cross workers and volunteers have been offering frontline support as refugees pour across Ukraine’s borders.
More than one million refugees have fled Ukraine in the past week, according to United Nations figures. Officials fear that could hit four million in the biggest single movement of people in Europe since World War Two.

And Ukrainian Red Cross teams are also providing shelter, food and water for those trapped in bombed out towns and cities.
Meanwhile, workers with the International Committee of the Red Cross are striving to restore water supplies and give support to medical facilities.
Mike Adamson, chief executive of British Red Cross, said: “Your donations will help us reach people in Ukraine and neighbouring countries with food, water, medicine, medical equipment and other essentials and also to repair critical infrastructure.
“We thank Sun readers for your kind support. Anything you can give makes a difference.”

The Ukraine Crisis Appeal will support people in areas currently affected and those potentially affected in the future by the crisis.
In the unlikely event that the British Red Cross raise more money than can be reasonably and efficiently spent, any surplus funds will be used to help them prepare for and respond to other humanitarian disasters anywhere in the world.
