I have a Gen 8 with a 20w charger but I’m in Ukraine and can’t find the adapter. Can my 10w Apple charger from my old iPad work? Does the double watt charge it faster?

You can safely use the 10W Power Adapter, but charging will be much slower. The Apple 20W Power Adapter supports USB-PD (Power Delivery) Fast Charging, which will charge your iPad at its fastest supported charging rate.
