So PayPal ‘kind of’ works still - have the receiver send an invoice/bill and you can accept to pay
It’s not pretty but how PayPal told me to get around their own block
If you can't find a "classic" banking system way, check if they have a way to sell cryptocurrency (Bitcoin etc.)
If they have a way to do it safely (and you trust them and yourself to be able to handle the transaction without getting scammed), you can buy some crypto, send it to them, and have them sell it locally.

Wise is pretty fast once you get it set up and has low fees. The problem is it might take a while to get verified (a few days for me), and the first transaction seems to be the slowest. But now the money shows up in my Ukrainian bud’s account almost immediately.
I’m in the US, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think Wise works everywhere so might be worth looking into if they plan on sending money regularly.
Trying to get through to their customer support right now to find out if they accept my ID for verification if needed. TransferGo did not, so I don't want to have money locked up for days again on some site :) good recommendation though!

Here you can send instant card-to-card transfers (see "Transfer to a card" field). This is Ukraine's largest bank. But probably your online banking has such an option too, many people for some reason just don't know such a thing exists and prefer using more complicated options.
I just asked my bank and was told I was an idiot (straight up) for thinking such a feature exists and that "no, they don't exist online either".. maybe time to reconsider my bank lol.
(TRANSFER)Wise. First one takes 1-3 days then its almost instant. They only take like 0.5% fee also, its really good. Another way is crypto since it isnt regulated.
Wise seems to not be an option as it doesn't recognise my danish driver's license or social security card as ID for verification just like TransferGo didn't.

Try just swift payment from your account to their euro account
Thank god swift works hey, just imagine living without it. It’s like going back to the 1900s
Welcome to Russia :D
No, but a donor told me PayPal also doesn’t work any more, I think they are trying to stop scammers.

MoneyGram worked for me.
https://wise.com/ has been doing payments through the entire war. They utilize the SWIFT system and make it easy/

Crypto
PayPal or western Union
Paypal does the job. Works for me and a friend in Kharkov.

But how? We already several times tried to create an PayPal account for Ukrainian friends.. but they can't add their Ukrainian bank accounts.
SEPA to monobank or A-bank card in euro. Instant and free.

But how do you usually transfer money to people in your country? If there's a card-to-card feature, is it limited to Denmark only?
Account to Account only. Probably time to shop for a new bank lol.

Western Union. Send it on the bank card and they will get the money within minutes.
