The calls and texts started early, asking for power supplies and tools for fixing engines, according to the person who lives and works in Ivano-Frankivsk.
Ukrainian soldiers at the front line have been requesting hard-to- find items from their friends and colleagues around the country.
Softjourn, a U.S.-based tech company, has an R&D office and many employees in Western Ukraine.
Our team and the tech community in Ukranian have come together to help the war efforts. Donations of money and military gear to the army, as well as joining the IT army, are included in this.
While volunteering is important for the war efforts, it is even more important to fight on the economic front.
Sergiy Fitsak, co-founder and managing director of Softjourn, said that they are helping fuel the war effort by working. It is critically needed to fund military efforts, provide humanitarian relief to those most affected, protect our communities, and feed and care for our families and neighbors.
Working has become an act of resistance for many of our colleagues in Ukraine. When companies choose to purchase licenses for products built in the country, or to work with consulting companies that may have part or all of their teams there, they nurture the economy, which safeguards the future of Ukraine.
As members of the global tech community, we are uniquely positioned to help. You can pitch in three ways.
According to the IT Ukraine Association, before the war, Ukraine was home to a $6 billion tech industry. Many companies that have had to close or suspend operations are still growing.
