Mariupol - ruined but not conquered. The city in the east of Ukraine, with almost half a million people, has survived the occupation, total destruction, and a humanitarian catastrophe. The Russians were murdering civilians, preventing them from escaping

Everything is fine with my family, but my friends were terrified, some of them still have it, many of them have their houses destroyed. And Etsy underestimates Ukrainian stores in the rating, almost all of them have sales dropped by 60-80%. I have 1 sale for 3 months of the war (usually 8-10 per month))) So it's not bad, but could be better :))) 

[MikeKrausArt]

@PPPARTEMMM Happy to hear your family is safe and healthy.  And hope your friends are able to find sanctuary too.  Have they remained in the hometowns?

Sales seem to be suffering everywhere.  The economy seems to be slowing as the pandemic continues to make an impact.  

You and other Ukrainians are an inspiration.  Your determination for freedom has been incredible.

[LovelyGoodsBG]

Friends,
I am not Ukrainian, but I live in Bulgaria and now I help people from Ukraine.
I want to tell everyone - hold on! Strength and peace to you!

@StudioYOArt Hi.  How are you and your loved ones?

[StudioYOArt]

Hello! We are located in the controlled territory of Ukraine. After the liberation of the north, the country became a little calmer. But the missile strikes continue. Ukraine is incredibly grateful to the whole world !!!

Hello dear Mike and othe teammates!

I do not show often here.  I was checking daily games and saw this thread.  Thank you so much!!!  Each word of support means a lot to every Ukrainian!  Thank you so much for just thinking about us!

Dear Ukrainina teammates, please hold on!!!  We are unbreakable!  Glory to Ukraine!

I'm luck to stay at home all this time in a big city.  I didn't stop working and this helped a lot - buing busy with orders, not reading the news all the time, recieving lots of words of support from my customers, being able to help the army and refugees, finding new level of stress and strength afterward in myself.

Not asking for any help (oh, just if anyone knows some teams, playing searchaton games, please let me know) for myself - I am doing ok (as much ok as you can be living in war).  But I'm asking to not stop reading and taking about Ukraine.  You might be tired of this news, so are we and our defenders... Please, donate if you can.  Each 5 or 10 $ matters.

Thank you again to everyone!

Happy sales!
