The Russian government launched a military invasion in Ukraine on February 24, and the whole world is watching all these unfold. The European Council says Russia has violated international laws, and the UNHCR reported that hundreds of thousands of people are fleeing from the violence. Lives have already been lost, and properties have been destroyed.
Game developers both in Ukraine and beyond its borders have also spoken up against this violent act against humanity. Many developers in Ukraine are worried about the welfare of their employees, and are demanding that Russia ends the violence immediately. Several also called for help as thousands of people have already been displaced.
Here, we have summarized some of their statements.
