Hello dearest community!
For the past few days, I have also been following the news of the horrific act of Putin's aggression in Ukraine, the shelling of civilian buildings, hospitals and the threat of weapons of mass destruction.
I feel sadness and deep respect for the Ukrainians, who are heroically fighting against the numerical superiority. I was in this beautiful country a few years ago, walked for 2 weeks in their charming mountains, met friendly people and tasted their excellent cuisine. They have a lot to fight for.
I feel also sad for these unnecessary losses on Russian side.
War should never be the answer in a civilized society.
Last weekend, I sent 2 months of average income from the Russian and Belarusian regions to Člověk v tísni (People in Need), a non-profit organization that will use the money to help the most vulnerable people in Ukraine.
I condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
I stand behind Ukraine.
I stand behind Russians that are against these actions of the Russian government.
If you can, please help this war-afflicted country.
Take care,
Jan
Edit1: Some of my Russian friends are asking me to provide sources for these reprehensible events.
To be honest, I don't fully trust any media article in my or any other country, I don't even have a TV at home. What I trust is testimony of people there, without any political bias, just video footage by their cellphones.

This is simply not acceptable for any cause on any side of conflict.
I am just a game developer living several hundreds km from this war, having friends in Ukraine and Russia. I am trying to help people in need. There is no political nor propaganda background. Just sadness for all unnecessary victims...
