Give Russians real news about Ukraine using ads

Thank you very much everybody for your donations to our campaign.

Here's a quick update on how we are doing.

1. Our ads have now been shown over 600,000 times - and people have clicked on them over 10,000 times.

2. As you can see from the graph below, every day we are hugely increasing our reach - I would expect us to get more than 7,000 people clicking on our ads, and visiting independent news sites, just today.

3. As you know we can't say much about exactly where these ads are, because we are trying to outwit Russian government censors. However we are currently reaching people across the whole of Russia, and we're seeing lots of interest from major Russia cities like Moscow, St Petersburg and Krasnodar.

4. Many people have worried that we'll end up entirely banned. So far we are successfully delivering ads - though a few of our attempts have been blocked. We're continuing to work with our brilliant volunteers to find new ways around the censors. Hopefully we can show you everything when the war is over.

5. Finally please do keep on sharing this campaign with your friends, colleagues, and relatives. On average every person who sees you sharing this campaign brings us roughly 10p - so if you share it with 100 friends, then that's £10 worth.

All the best,

Rob Blackie.
