March 21 Update: Day 26. This night russia bombed a residential area where more than 10 people from Frogwares lived. Nobody from the team got hurt, but 8 people from the neighborhood died.
We will never forget, never forgive.
Slava Ukraini!

March 12 Update: Day 17. The hometown of ten of our colleagues — Mykolaiv — suffered from rocket artillery strikes. As always, the goal was civilian infrastructure. Rockets hit the Mykolaiv regional oncological clinic.
All the same, we're still standing strong.

Message From Wael CEO@Frogwares - Any company that has a game as a service or platform to spread news through their launchers or games dynamically should join the information drive. Put out messages to Russian players about the facts of the war in Ukraine. There is no need for propaganda, just plain facts that their army is bombing civilians and killing them. That they are not welcome here by the population.
It’s time to take a stand up and use their marketing talents for something more than ROI.

And I’m not the first one here to say so. Wargaming should do this immediately given the fact they have so many ties between Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia. Epic and Fortnite can do it. Pubg Corporation can do it. Embracer can do it. Sony can do it. Microsoft can do it. Steam can do it. I want to add here that they have no business to lose since most payment systems are already blocked in Russia.

In doing so, these companies could ramp up resistance back in Russia or even prevent more 18 or 20 years old Russian conscript boys blindly going to their deaths to burn alive in their APCs.
These companies can, in fact, save lives. Just use the truth.

Thank you for being respectful and not turning this into a political debate or discussion. I know many were concerned about our developers, members and loved ones in Russia and Ukraine. They are all hurting right now and Wael spoke well on the situation.

Thank you for posting this, Ana. It's good to know what our friends in the gaming community in Ukraine are doing. I hope we hear from Iruii soon too.

Drac, I spoke to Iurii on Feb 27th. He was doing ok at that time. I'm hoping to hear from him again. He hasn't been on since.

Thank you Ana.

Thanks for posting this. Good information, we are all concerned.

I also wrote to Iurii and he wrote back to me on February 26th. My thoughts and prayers are with him and that he is still okay.

Thank you for posting this, Ana. Frogwares was one of the first companies I thought of when all of this started.

Iurii is still safe, thank goodness! I heard from him last night.

Thanks so much for letting us know, Ana!

Oh, thank heavens!

Thanks for the update about Iurii, Ana!

Thanks for keeping up to date, Ana.

I also heard from Yuri today. He's doing fine for now.

Things are so different than from 10 days ago. We have a real war going on here in Europe. I had never expected to see this during my life time. This changes everything.

It certainly does change everything, Mikael.

Ditto that

Thanks for posting this Ana.

Updated the first post.

Thanks for the update Ana! Anymore news from Iurii?

I've been checking for updates every day. Was wondering about Iruii too.

Iurii said he is doing fine for now but as we all know, the war is still ongoing.

Thank you for the updates!

Thank you Ana. I can't begin to imagine what it's like.

Thanks for the update, Ana.
