Generally, the Ukrainian IT community is around 350 000 people. People work in winter, in shelters, sometimes with no conditions but, no matter what, keep productivity on a very high level. Still, Ukraine has even more opportunities to be attractive \u2013 because of its people. They change mindsets. They demonstrate that we all are part of a global world. They show amazing resilience \u2013 cope with the problems and all the tasks with sometimes no Internet, electricity, etc. However, it\u2019s crucial to have support from the government, for example, in terms of mobilization deferrals, and short-term business trips for men. As we are in this situation together, hence, cooperation is crucial. As well as understanding that economics is as important as a military front. In the end, Mr Antaniuk called the global community to cooperate with Ukrainian businesses and Ukrainian IT more!<\/p>\n
