These words and pictures reached me this morning from one of our Ukrainian staff members in Kharkiv.
What is happening in Ukraine is devastating in so many ways. But for us at We Don’t Have Time, it is also horrifying on a much closer and personal level. Seven members of our tech team are Ukrainians. That’s roughly 1/4 of the We Don’t Have Time staff.
Based in – and working from – Ukraine, these colleagues of ours have done and are still doing a tremendous job in developing our app and all of its functions. Now they’re stuck in a war zone – while still trying to work.
In this acute phase of the crisis, one of the fastest and most effective ways to help them and their fellow countrymen is through organizations working on the ground in Ukraine.
Therefore, we would kindly ask you – our partners, members, and followers – to donate money to the UN refugee agency, UNHCR, earmarked for the crisis in Ukraine.
The invasion of Ukraine is not a conflict between countries, it is a conflict between people and corrupt leaders financed by fossil oil and gas.
The right thing to do is stop financing those leaders by going fossil-free. This will also save us from planetary breakdown, as described in yesterday's alarming IPCC report.
Because while the war rages on, so does the climate crisis. If you believe in a fossil-free future, just as I do, please create, agree on, and share climate reviews on our platform. It is an easy and effective way to make a difference.

I hope the war will end soon, we cannot continue like this. As civilized humans we need leaders who can solve problems without destroying so many lives.

I feel so incredibly incensed that the ego of a single individual can cause so much suffering and hatred. It is not a time for self interest and selfish agendas. The existence of our whole planet is under threat. It’s urgent. What does Putin do? Use his superb scientists and technical know how for the good of humanity? No. He invades a neighbouring country and kills thousands of innocent people with a massive energy hungry war machine. It’s totally senseless. We stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine and wish a swift end to this brutal genocide.

The climate concious, activists for our species to be aware of the fact that oil revenue risk reduction is what this is all about.. "Activism" requires honesty, the risks are absurd, and literally, the underlying motivation or funding of all international wars; certainly Putin's military strength to accomplish this Ukraine takeover is built upon money for oil and "natural gas" (aka methane and other) Oil and energy resources are the bulk of wars over 40 years

People like peace and not war and I can´t understand that one maniac hidden in a bunker, should be allowed to do so much damage to ordinary people.

This could be the worst humanitarian crisis Europe has seen in decades. People impacted by the conflict in Ukraine must be protected.

What happens in Ukraine is beyond depressing. Does humanity never learn? Is it possible to donate without a Facebook account. I have recently deleted mine.
