As Paul is fond of charities, has he considered organising a concert in aid of Ukraine? I am sure that if asked many other musicians would give their time free for such a good cause - I am thinking of something along the lines of George Harrison's "Concert for Bangladesh" - although Harrison is sadly no longer with us. All profits from such a concert could be donated to the Ukraine medical and infrastructure services, and the artists involved could not, therefore, be accused of providing money for the purchase of armaments. I for one would love to buy a CD from such a concert.
There are many McCartney/Beatles songs that could be played (with slight changes to the lyrics): "Back in the USSR", "Get Back", "Yesterday", "Help" to name but a few.
I hope that Paul reads this, and takes my message seriously - I can be contacted at my email address.

Hi Jonathan,
While he didn't organize any charity concert for Ukraine, McCartney did show his support for Ukraine:
