Ukraine resists full-scale Russian invasion for two weeks. Many Ukrainians joined the ranks of the territorial defense to defend the country with weapons in their hands.. But no less important is the economic front..
With a broken economy, Ukraine cannot win. Intellias VP of Technology Roman Pavlyuk in a column for Zaxid. net explains why you should not give up work during the war.
Stop volunteering, sacrificing working time: if you now have a workplace, and there is work there, this is your main line of defense of the Motherland!
Respect, even idolize, entrepreneurs and businesses that are trying to work stably in these conditions: they are now the backbone of the economy!
Overcome the survivor's guilt in yourself (this is “why am I warm if others are on the front line”): not all people, especially men, can go to the front. If this happens, then after 48 hours the army will begin to surrender to the enemy due to hunger.! Everyone has their own place in this war, and everyone must defend on their own line.!
Keep turning money around: pay your bills, pay your taxes, order baked goods from your friend, as you did before the war, get a manicure, a haircut at the barbershop, buy groceries in the same store as before, pay the rent, pay for classes with a therapist, with. Try to keep the turnover of funds as high as possible, and this will be your contribution to the fight! And that's ok!
Entrepreneurs, at the slightest opportunity, keep the business open! Especially in the west of Ukraine, where the threats of war are minimal. It's very critical right now..
For those who have gone abroad: look for a job and start immediately. Your donations for the army and transfers to Ukraine, even minimal ones, will be very valuable to us!
Separately, I appeal to IT specialists: now you are almost the only working currency channel in Ukraine. And the surviving sector of the economy as a whole. Therefore, the very fact that you are working is a powerful contribution to victory.! There is an opportunity to evacuate abroad - okay, do it.
But do not stop working for our Ukrainian companies and do not stop paying taxes in Ukraine!
“Everyone who says that how is it possible to work / trade / do a manicure / go to the gym / bake a cake / study when there is a war in the country - send after the Russian ship. Every time you feel pain and guilt “why am I not there”, repeat: “I work! This is my fight! This is my line of defense of my homeland! I will not surrender it and surrender myself (a), because my Ukraine is above all! "
