Stand with Ukraine. Stand with MindK

Time for reading: 3 min

MindK is a software development company. We’re from Ukraine and we will resist. You can help us.

On February 24th at 5:00 Kyiv time, we woke up to the sound of airstrikes and missiles raining down on our hometown, Sumy. This is when we knew that president Biden’s promised war is here. In our country.

Military bases, airfields, border posts, and cities across Ukraine are getting bombarded by Russian forces. Our city Sumy is located in the northeastern part of Ukraine, 125 miles from the Russian border. We started seeing Russian armor patrolling in our streets from day one.

As we’re writing this, blazing fires are tearing through our city and the gunfire is echoing in the background. But we’re here. We’re alive. We’re fighting for our city and our country. We’re doing whatever we can to help our army and our people whether it’s finding the nearest bomb shelter or paying salaries to our employees.

As crazy as it sounds in the current situation, we continue doing our job – building great software products for our clients from all over the world.

If you’re on our side and want to help us fight this brutal war, here is what you can do.

How to support Ukraine

  1. Don’t be silent and “just watch.” Ukraine is in real trouble. Your compassion will warm our hearts, but it will not save us. You need to inform your communities that there is a real catastrophe happening in Europe that the whole world needs to know about. Urge people from your country to not be indifferent. #SaveUkraine #StopPutin #StopRussia #WorldForUkraine #StandWithUkraine
  2. Help ordinary Ukrainian citizens. At present, hundreds of thousands of people –– women, children, and the elderly –– are heading towards the EU to escape the war in Ukraine. They’re asking for shelter. Don’t stand aside. Ukrainians are friendly, peaceful, and kind people. We respect others and are grateful for all the help that we get. We are not beggars, but our situation forces us to ask for help. Don’t turn away.
  3. Donate money to support the Ukrainian military, internally displaced people, and refugees. Every cent, dollar, euro counts! You can also check out some organizations here. They are working to help Ukrainians during this crisis.

To conclude, don’t let hatred consume you. Anger and hatred have forced one man to resort to measures that are now making the whole world tremble. Now we know the face of evil. We want the world to do everything we can to prevent this horror from happening in Ukraine and elsewhere.
