France Ukraine News

What France Ukraine News does

France Ukraine News is a Paris-based, French non-profit association (loi 1901, founded February 2022) that provides information, orientation, and support services to Ukrainian refugees in France. Operating from 3 rue Alexandre Charpentier in the 17th arrondissement, the organization served an estimated addressable population of roughly 110,000 Ukrainian refugees as of February 2023. Its core offering is a portfolio of six service lines: bilingual (French/Ukrainian) informational publications, personalized refugee orientation, entrepreneur accompaniment, online French-as-a-Foreign-Language (FLE) courses, psychological support referrals, and a recurring webinar series delivered with expert contributors including lawyers, accountants, and government officials.

The underlying technology platform is a WordPress-based content management system used to publish articles, host webinar recordings (mirrored to YouTube), and surface resources; there is no proprietary software, no mobile application, no public API, and no AI/ML components disclosed. Distribution runs through organic social channels — Facebook, Instagram, and a Telegram channel that functions as the primary information conduit — supplemented by YouTube, webinars, in-person events, and institutional partnerships with French and international bodies (CCI Paris, Franco-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce, OFII, Fulbright France, US Embassy in Paris, Tent Partnership Foundation, ADIE, Envergure, Action Emploi Réfugiés, Kodiko, and the Les entreprises s'engagent initiative). The organization is led by President Anar Lutfaliyev and supported by a largely volunteer management team spanning community management, beneficiary relations, R&D, webmaster, legal, and marketing functions.

France Ukraine News is funded entirely through donations and voluntary contributions rather than fees for service: individual donations ("Faites un Don"), corporate patronage (mécénat d'entreprise) and skills-based volunteering (mécénat de compétences), and in-kind housing donations from hosts. All services are provided free of charge to refugees. The association is independent, with no parent company, no institutional investors, and no disclosed funding rounds or revenue figures.
