Dear Applet Family!
 
Most of you might not know this, but our small team is entirely based in Ukraine. Russia has started an unprecedented military attack on all fronts on our country, using all of its military forces - rockets, artillery, air force, mechanized weapons, tanks, navy and infantry.
 
This is an unprovoked war on a peaceful nation. They are bombing our capital, Kyiv, and many cities in Ukraine. They are often hitting civilian infrastructure, like in this case (warning - graphic content!): https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-02-26/frightening-moment-a-missile-hit-a-residential-building-in-kyiv/100864932
 
We're shocked, terrified, heartbroken - to say the least. Olga and her family are currently safe in the western part of Ukraine but team member Ira is in Zaporizhzhia, she has to hide in her house's basement and listen to the sound of artillery.
 
These are unprecedented times, and now we all, as never before, need your maximum support!
 
The best way to support us right now is to do some or all of the following - feel free to share this with as many people in your network as you like/can:
 
- help us fight the Russian propaganda and misinformation by spreading across your contact networks links to these trusted verified ukrainian news sources on the situation in Ukraine:
   - Ukrayinska Pravda (english version of our largest online news outlet)
   - The Kyiv Independent (they accept donations)
   - UkrInform
- call the offices of your elected representatives and ask them to promote harsh sanctions against Russia’s economy and military, ask for your government’s support for Ukraine - any support is needed and welcome!
- donate directly to Ukrainian armed forces via this website: Come Back Alive
- here's another web page with multiple resources for English-speakers, including resources where you can make donations to humanitarian organizations.
 
Putin's attack on Ukraine is a war against the whole of Europe and the civilized world. Russia must pay the ultimate price.
 
Thank you all! We hope we won’t ever have to reach out to you with such news or calls 😭. If you want to stay in touch with us, we remain active on Instagram stories these days.
 
With love and great appreciation for your support,
Applet Studio team
