how are you guys holding up? Still kicking putins ass? Hope it’s not as bad as the news is making it out to be.
Hey! We've been able to leave Ukraine back in August, though few of our team members still remain there. How fucked situation is differs from city to city. For example, city where our parents and families live is one of the worst when it comes to blackout situation. Power grid has always been subpar there, but after bombings city is basically succumbed into darkness for 3 months, with electricity working around 3 hours a day, not every day. It got better like a week or two ago, but still not ideal. Obviously we're not even talking about the fact that almost all our family members lost their job, Young's (team leader and writer) father has been drafted to war, and all other stuff. But so far, everyone are alive, which is more than enough and we're incredibly thankful for that.
Sadly, news are mostly accurate. Some of our cities are virtually deleted, there's nothing of them left, innocent civilians are still getting killed, frontline is a meat grinder, etc. But we're holding strong.
Our team members are all in safety right now, even the ones that stuck in Ukraine managed to move as far as possible from the frontlines, and so far it helped to keep stress to the possible minimum. Even when they're unable to work, we're making sure to pay them above average salary by Ukrainian standards and some extra, just so they can stock on supplies and power banks.
We really appreciate you asking and tbh I just needed to vent it somewhere. Thank you.
