A fundraiser for Ukrainian snipers by Come Back Alive is still ongoing. It’s a big one, but more than 3/4 is already raised. You can donate via this link.
Video Content
There’s a Voice Chat episode that is still on the “editing table”. However, in the meantime you could watch a recording of a fireside chat with me and the GeekOps Community on YouTube (in Ukrainian). Unlike us, they actually include videos :D
It’s quite long, but I hope it’s interesting. They have more videos with other amazing guests on their YouTube channel, and they make such fireside chats quite regularly. So, make sure to subscribe!
