I don’t really understand that. Before - yes. But now and on HN. If people are really curious about Ukraine to the point that they want to express their takes why not to fly to Poland, cross the border and spend several month in Ukraine. See how things are, talk to people and so on? Many people on HN definitely can afford that. Why just retell some story from one friend you have instead of going on the ground and talking to hundreds of people?

Greetings from Kyiv. > why not to fly to Poland, cross the border and spend several month in Ukraine. See how things are, talk to people and so on? Because, Ukraine lack systematic, and Russia have it. For example, look on "list of Ukrainian products" - I from very first and very surface look, see it is outdated, as example, Petcube, Solargaps ceased, I only sure about Ajax functioning. So, I think this is manually created list, without any automation. Appear question - where is famous Ukrainian IT? Why this list is not synchronized with banking transfers? And so on... What I want to tell, from such nuances, Ukraine looks like small African country, not European, and Western people feel very much difference from powerful Russian propaganda. Imagine, for example, France news services use systematic approach, when they seen public interest on Ukrainian region, they tried to hire cultural experts, and they just can't find Ukrainian experts, so they after long thoughts, hired Russians, thinking they should also know their neighbors, you understand how bad words I want to say, and this is not joke. These things are very obvious for me as I mostly work for Western clients. If you really want to help Ukraine, we could talk on more private channel, because I don't want to share with Russians know how.

Ukraine is a very small part of the lives of most people here and they are definitely not going to make that trip just to post a better comment of this website.
