Dear Tech Community,

I am asking you to support the initiative below to stop the war in Ukraine.

When the war is taking place at the heart of Europe in 2022, and the political and diplomatic world seems to have little power to stop it, global tech companies might be able to influence the situation much faster and a lot more effectively.

I get some downloaders of my trial software from Russia on my website. Would it be helpful to pop a message to them and what should it say? I already use an API to get the downloader's country via IP address so it would be easy to do this. One issue is I have no way to know if downloader is with the Russian government because the trial does not require registration of any kind, or even an email. The software is business related. I have a few sales from Russian IT consultants.
