🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 [From Ukraine] Feb 28 - How to help 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Hello dear IndieHackers,
First of all, thank you for all your support and kind words to my previous post.
❤️❤️❤️
This is an updated post on how to help Ukraine to stop putin.
Situation update (all you need to know in 3 points)
-
Russia and Belarus(supports Russia in its attacks) keep bombing civil objects in many cities and killing many civilians including kids (this is what happens in Kharkiv).
-
Russia is hiding the real situation from its own citizens including their losses. They claim it's not war and they are protecting civilians (by bombing them).
-
Russian blitzkrieg failed. They haven't captured any big city but lost ~5,000 soldiers, ~150 tanks, etc. Compare these numbers:
- Russia lost 25K soldiers in Afghanistan during 9 years of war
- Russia lost 5K soldiers in Ukraine during 5 days (yes, it's days).
How to help
1. Isolate Russian companies and Russian customers
Just cancel all Russian and Belarus accounts and don't serve them
Many companies like airlines, payment providers, transport companies have already done this. Now we need software companies to stop serving murders. I know this is painful to your business but we have to wake up russian sleepers to make them dump Putin.
You will earn more money in the future, let's save lives now!
There are many born-in-Ukraine companies(e.g. Restream or Reface) that have already done so.
We would be grateful if you can do the same and post it on your social media.
2. Spread the word
Please help us let the world and Russian citizens know that Russia is bombing Ukrainian cities killing civilians and kids.
If you don't know what to share:
- retweet this one https://twitter.com/nexta_tv/status/1498289791514861568
- add a top bar to your website saying you support Ukraine and tell Russia to stop the war (example)
### 3. Contact your local politics, senator, etc.
Ask them to help Ukraine with weapons, medicine, petrol, etc.
They can help but they will be more motivated if you ask them about it.
### 4. Donate to ‘Come back alive’
You can donate to this fund (the biggest army volunteering fund in Ukraine)
Ukraine🇺🇦 will really appreciate your support!
P.S. I know that IndieHackers is not a political platform, but we are contacting everyone we know. If we don't stop Putin in Ukraine, the war will come to Poland, Moldova, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, etc.
