has been started where you can find lots of important information about the ongoing Russian invasion on Ukraine.
But just reading and talking about it is not enough. We need to act as well.
Newgrounds can and should be considered as a haven of freedom and Vladimir Putin is currently one of the main worldwide threats against freedom. So we should do something. This is a fight between the desire for freedom and a will to enslave and bully the whole free world. And countries like Sweden, Finland, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia can be next.
I'll list some things here that in my opinion can be done to help the Ukrainian nation. If you want to take part in this important survey please use the list mentioned below.
@TomFulp - I hope you won't consider this as too radical and even will support it in any way.
Feel free to add your suggestions as well:
- We can support humanitarian organizations that are organizing help for refugees from Ukraine. Please add an information about your country in this matter: the names or such organizations and how can you support them, like financially or with medical supplies, food etc.
- Boycott Russian and Belarusian companies and their supporters around the world. List all Russian companies that are selling anything in your country here, so we would know what to avoid buying and name the exact products. Especially hurting the businesses of Russian oligarchs that support Putin is now essential.
- Russian propaganda is spreading around the world with the help of irresponsible people or their true backers, as well as web trolls. Don't listen to them. List important youtube, facebook, twitter etc. accounts that are widespreading fake news like western responsibility for Russian invasion or backing the words of Vladimir Putin claiming that Ukraine started this war, so they can be ignored and in most sensitive cases reported, even to the authorities. For example Czechia decided that backing the Russian invasion is now illegal.
- In every country there are irresponsible politicians that currently speak the same political language as Putin. List them as well and put a pressure on them, so they will reconsider their opinion.
- Probably some of us know people from Ukraine here. Show them support in any way, they really need it now.
- There are also people from Russia here that are ashamed of what their president is doing and are being terrorized by his policy. I talked to some of them, they asked me to not even mention their nicks. They are THAT afraid. They also need support, because now we know more than ever that political changes in Russia are necessary, essential.
Stay strong and united and Vladimir Putin won't win this confrontation.
