War in Ukraine

This is a day when Russia decided to invade my home, Ukraine. Missile strikes all over Ukraine, in all cities, Russian troops are attacking all across Eastern Ukrainian land border.

Russia not being happy with the presence of independent Ukraine is a long story. But long story short, from my point of view, last 2-3 years before the war, with our new president Zelensky were amazing years for Ukraine. At the time of invasion, just in 2-3 years after Zalensky stepped in:

We've got an absolutely amazing Diia web portal and a mobile app, which we call "digital government". Literally your passport, driving license etc is packed in this app, along with hundreds of government services.
Diia city, which is the recently well-worked through tax system for small and big IT companies. 5-9% tax system, many perks etc - all to attract business and make Ukraine the best-in-class IT hub, which it already is for Ukrainians.
Various infrastructure and people improvements. New things are being built all around the country.

And exactly at this stage of an amazing growth, Russia decided to grab some Ukrainian territories again, assault cities and murder people, kill civilian infrastructure, steal food and lands.

We will not forget. We will not forgive. We need your help to kick the Putin's ass off Ukraine faster!
