Dear Magefan customers, It's been a month since all world faced a terror later sworn to not happen again — War!  It's been a month since all Ukrainians woke up in a new reality where air raid sirens go off several times a day bringing uncertainty and fear of being bombed.  It's been a month during which hiding in bomb shelters and basements became more often than walking outside. The unprovoked aggression towards our country justified by a dictatorship maniac takes the lives of innocent people.  Though there is plenty of information around, we'd like to share our thoughts and feeling about these horrifying days Ukrainians are defending the world's right to freedom and peace.  How Did Ukraine Change? Everything changed when russian "peacekeepers" came to "save" the Ukrainian nation from imaginary nazis and fascists. And they did succeed, if we can call it so, in "saving" us from a steady supply of essential items like water, food and medicine, cosy homes, beautiful squares, parks,

UPD: "As of the morning of February 22, 2024, 528 children were killed and 1226 injured in Ukraine as a result of full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine according to Children of War Governmental portal, " - Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office. The Russian troops have already killed more than 100 Ukrainian kids. Tanya, who was at the age of 6 died or dehydration under the rubble of her house. Alice from Okhtyrka, she was 7, was killed during the shelling of the kindergarten from Grad rockets. Sofia, from Nova Kahovka, who was 6, was shot with her family.  How many more children have to die? How many more children have to be born in the bomb shelters? How many more days do mothers have to fall asleep in fear that their children might not wake up tomorrow? These murders are crimes against humanity. They kill our future — our children. Stop killing Ukrainian children! Stop this war! What can you do? Act now! What can you do? Act now!
