As the current conflict unfolds minis aren’t the most important thing but here are more ways you can support Ukrainian Miniature Companies,
Obviously, getting minis isn’t the most important thing right now in either of these regions, but you can still support your favorite Ukrainian companies. We did another post with more companies, which you can see here.
For now though, here are some more updates.
Editor’s Note: As of right now, there are no sanctions in place against buying miniatures from Russia, and the Russian post is still operating.
Buying miniatures from Ukraine is a bit trickier and varies by manufacturer. Below is how you can order from / support two of them, and help them in their efforts there.
With everything that’s happening, we’ll let them tell you more about how to order/ support them:

Friends! The situation is this – Paypal prohibits the receipt of donats in any form. We understand the reason – now there are a lot of scammers who want to get rich on the misfortune of our people, so all areas of trade and withdrawal of funds will be reinsured.
We already have an idea for a miniature that we want to mold to immortalize the heroic deeds of our army and the courage of our people. But at the moment, our concept artists are not able to draw anything, and we still cannot sit down for 3D. But as soon as such an opportunity arises, we will immediately begin to create this model.
For now, we offer you to buy digital goods from our website. These are ready-made STL and ZTL files that can be sent for 3D printing, or opened in Zbrush version 22 or higher.
Everyone who makes this purchase will be able to receive the STL commemorative model after we can make it, absolutely free. Those who buy digital goods worth $50 or more, after our victory, will be able to receive a physical copy of this model. It may take a long time, but we will fulfill all our obligations to you and to those who placed orders before the war and we did not have time to send the parcels.
All the money raised will go to help our friends and family, as well as to help specific people who are in the Territorial Defense units in our hometowns.
If you want to grab the STL and help support WGC, you can by clicking here!

They have a new list of digital goods that you can purchase to help them through this time. You will be grabbing some artwork for your purchase and it will go directly to them. Obviously, with the post as it is right now, they can’t ship you anything out.
So this is a good middle ground to buy something from them to help support their situation, without worrying about the shipping.
This is just a sample of what types of art you can purchase from them. They have products all the way from 5$ up to $200. Click here to check out all the STL files and support them.
