You have our unwavering support, and the unanimous support of all of the Western world in the war you did not ask for! I sincerely hope this monstrous violation of Ukrainian sovereignty ends soon, with little (further) loss of Ukrainian life.
My wife and I donated €500 for armed forces of Ukraine (through bank.gov.ua) and $500 for savelife.in.ua.
We are Russians. And we are terrified by the absolute useless war. We’ve left our aggressive country some years ago. But we didn’t stop this.
Here we are helping to refugees. Our company doing a lot for Ukraine colleagues and their families. At least, you can be sure that refugees are safe in Europe.
I hope, Russian army will be defeated soon, and then we will be happy to help to restore everything they destroyed… except lives
Russians, as I think, have never respected themselves. They respect a force only. People afraid to protect themselves = they couldn’t protect majority. This is why they do not understand, for example, why government should protect a minority.
All these problems are not important, as long as they fit into the state boundaries. But Russian tsar, gopnik, is so insane… I couldn’t predict any his step.
I’ve sent emails to all relatives and friends whose addresses I know. There are links to the web-sites which I trust more or less. Right now I have no idea how to notify more people: asking people to read something, from some unknown person, can be taken negative and may have opposite effect.
You can monitor Ukraine’s Armed Forces success following by this resource https://www.pravda.com.ua/. It is in Ukrainian, but symbols of technics are clear.
The whole democratic world is on your side. I never saw so much people donating all kind of needed things in my country. Theo (Tasmota project owner) added a link to this post on his github.
My best wishes to all of you.
Can’t wait when this war will be stopped. We have big plans regarding PlatformIO and the PlatformIO Team is highly motivated even in this difficult time. We still work on PlatformIO under missile explosions, we don’t know how many weeks/months we will need to eliminate all enemies defending our land.
Ivan, I sympathize with the Ukrainian cause and ashamed of the Russian aggression. Unfortunately, I can’t donate to Platformio project via the given link, it returns Error 1005

If you have a VPN (https://www.tunnelbear.com/ is free for 500Mb), you can choose any location. We use TunnelBear to test access to the PlatformIO services from the different continents.
Used tunnelbear and chose Germany. Got the same error with IP address 134.209.226.250 belonging to Germany. Previously was getting through another VPN with residence in US to no avail.
I doubt it’s because of the SWIFT ban, I don’t even come close to banking, it happens when I only click a button depicting amount. I guess though when I overcome this I will hit the prohibition to transfer currency abroad from Russia which was introduced lately.
I have no more ideas.
