"On February 24, 2022, we woke up because of the sound of the alarm in our city. We live near the Polish border in Lviv, but I got a notification saying AIR ATTACK. GO TO THE BOMB SHELTER.โ - Yaroslav Rybiy, COO at Indeema Software.
Russia declared full-scale war in Ukraine, attacking along the shared border as well as the Ukrainian-Belarus border in the north. Ukrainian borders were artillery fired by the Russian army. At the same time, more than 40 military infrastructure targets were struck in almost every region of the country, as well as by aerial bombardment. Following that, tank columns and troops moved further into Ukraine's territory. It was dubbed as a "special operation in the Donbas" by Putin, who also declared the "demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine."
The horrors that are currently taking place in our country are broadcasted around the world. This cruelty has no justification. On the outskirts of a number of cities, the Ukrainian military continues to hold the line. In the vast majority of cases, the Russian military suffers significant losses. However, civilians in Ukraine, including children, suffer and die.
At the moment, Ukraine is defending global democracy. We all want to live in a free country where we can express ourselves freely and have a decent standard of living. Only under these circumstances business can grow and flourish. This is precisely what Ukrainians are fighting for now. We have our own territory, language, and history, as well as independence. And no one, not even the new Hitler, can take them away.
What do this and business have in common?
Even now, Ukrainian tech companies continue to work hard, striving to save jobs and stabilize the economy. We'll keep providing development services as we are experts in it. You can help Ukraine in a variety of ways. By signing a contract with a Ukrainian company and hiring Ukrainian vendors right now, you may show your support to Ukraine. This isn't about charity or a donation. This is about partnership.
However, if you aren't looking for a vendor right now, any donation will aid our soldiers. Here is where you can donate.
Indeema Software continues working with existing customers. Some of our team members are working remotely, while others, including women, have been evacuated to Poland. Our people are full of hope, and everyone supports our president. To combat Russian cyberattacks, our programmers joined the โIT armyโ.
Hundreds of thousands of tech experts are fighting against Russian propaganda. Some even target Russian military officers, flooding their inboxes and other platforms with messages and videos about the war. Students are contacting Russian soldiersโ mothers to persuade them to request their sons back home.
All Ukrainians, including our team, are confident in Ukraine's victory and will not back down from the front lines or from doing business! Ukraine is a peaceful nation, and it is now fighting for democracy and freedom for the entire world, fighting for you.
