"Patreon has suspended a page run by a major Ukraine charitable foundation that helps get equipment to the country's military.
The membership platform said Thursday that it removed the account savelife.in.ua.
Before its suspension, the
Patreon
page said funds raised through its account will "fund the operations of our media and veteran divisions, visible to 2,500,000 of our Facebook followers."
"The posts and videos created with the help of your donations will show the rehabilitation of Ukrainian veterans and their return to a peaceful life," it said.
Patreon, however, says it took down the account because the non-governmental organization that runs it, called Come Back Alive, uses contributions to "finance and train military personnel."
"We don't allow Patreon to be used for funding weapons or military activity," Patreon said in a blog post. "It is a violation of our policies, and so we have removed the page.""
