Envato statement on Ukraine and Russia (Feb 28)

I live in Kyiv and for the last two days my family and I have been hiding in a bomb shelter. For the past two days, I have constantly heard explosions and the sound of cinera. Today I was in the store and the goods are almost gone, and no one knows if a new product will appear in stores in the near future. If everything continues, people may begin to die of hunger and a famine will begin, and then looting will begin. Unfortunately, the fate of Ukraine is in the hands of one scoundrel from the Kremlin. Our army is doing everything possible to protect us, I am proud that we have a good army and I am still alive thanks to our soldiers. I wish everyone peace, kindness and happiness.

Didnā€™t think this would ever happen in my county, Ukraine. We have a full-scale war going on, in all cities, throughout the country. War that is started by Russia for no real reason and fueled by their imperialistic ambitions.

Russian soldiers kill civilians, shoot at houses. Rockets and fighter jets fly overhead at my house. Childrenā€™s oncology clinic and kindergartens, schools came under shelling. Women give births in basements and bomb shelters, where they are forced to hide, alongside with others including pensioners and disabled. Entire families are forced to flee their cities and sleep in cars. My friends, the Russians who live in my city, are now cursing Russia and Putin.

Now the whole world has united against the genocide of Ukrainians. Envato, please donā€™t stand aside. We are waiting for your response. Silence = death. Inaction = death.

This is a tragedy, and a tragedy not only for Ukraine, but also for the residents of Donbass and Luhansk, who lived for 8 years in such horror under shelling, in which all of Ukraine is now.
Patience and peace!

Thank you for this topic. All Ukrainians and supporters really need it.
My experience. I live in the the downtown of Kyiv, and I can see the horrible consequences of this war from my window. I havenā€™t been composing for five days, it is barely possible right now. Of course I will lose some amount of money because of that. But itā€™s nothing compared to a huge number of killed children, soldiers and civil people all around Ukraine. I just want this war to stop immediately. Now Ukrainians are united like never before, and we want to thank everyone who help in any way. Glory to Ukraine!

By supporting authors from Ukraine, you support their families and loved ones. Authors from Ukraine are now unable to compose new tracks, so their earnings will fall and they will not be able to feed their families and loved ones. Now my city is completely occupied. In my city, 3 hours ago, Russian soldiers shot down a car in which civilians were sitting, who were going to the store to buy food.

@BenLeong is it ok to post news posts from legit sources like BBC here?

If itā€™s not, please delete this post.

Iā€™d like to share the news to spread the word about whatā€™s going on today in Ukraine, so that more people would be able to support our people (if they want of course) in any way they could.

I am not promoting anything here. I want peace just like you. I donā€™t support the regime. Iā€™m just saying what I personally know from friends from Donbass. And they say one thing - that Ukraine does not consider them to be people. I understand that people have been brainwashed from all sides of the barricades, but you donā€™t have to be a propagandist to understand that in 8 years there are probably losses among the civilian population on the other side too.

Am I trying to provoke someone here? We need to think broader and try to understand both sides of the conflict, and not look at the situation from one side.

I had never thought that I will have to do this. Today i fight with scisors and ducktape along with other Polish and Ukrainian volounteers here in Cracow. EVERY institution in my country collects humanitarian aid for war victims, refugees and Ukrainians who stayed in shelters under burning cities facing outrageous aggression and economic disaster hitting them and their kids.

I took these photos only in few of many corridors full of aid. And this is one of many buildings in my neiberhood full of aid up to the roof.

I have NEVER seen such a thing.

EDIT: I removed too emotional words. Let me tell you our point of view with full calmness. Here in Poland we are very afraid that soon Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia will have to face same aggression. I was born when my country was under ZSRR control (some call it 45-years of post-war occupation). We know what it mean and we do not want this happen again, it would be a step back for our culture and economy. We are very afraid that Putin wants to restore Russian imperium, to change borders. And it is not a simple anxiety. Putin said about it many times and he started to act (vide: Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova etc.). Not mentioning his nuclear aggression threats he states in the last days. This is why we show West that humanitarian aid is so important. We hope West would do the same for us.

Peace for all. We do not want war.

This is not an option, Russian authors, as far as we know, also suffer. Do not confuse the authors with the war, which I hope will end soon.
