Dear friends and colleagues! I've been criticized in the past for sharing something very personal on The Open Mic in a time of need, but this time I just can't ignore this call for our help. Our colleague Maksym Kozub got into a horrific car accident when he was cycling in Norway. He needs an urgent surgery and his wife is currently raising funds. If you can, please read this post on how you can help: <iframe data-s9e-mediaembed="twitter" allow="autoplay *" allowfullscreen="" onload="var c=new MessageChannel;c.port1.onmessage=function(e){style.height=e.data+'px'};contentWindow.postMessage('s9e:init','https://s9e.github.io',[c.port2])" scrolling="no" src="https://s9e.github.io/iframe/2/twitter.min.html#1042062037768171520" style="background:url(https://abs.twimg.com/favicons/favicon.ico) no-repeat 50% 50%;border:0;height:250px;max-width:500px;width:100%"> <iframe data-s9e-mediaembed="twitter" allow="autoplay *" allowfullscreen="" onload="var c=new MessageChannel;c.port1.onmessage=function(e){style.height=e.data+'px'};contentWindow.postMessage('s9e:init','https://s9e.github.io',[c.port2])" scrolling="no" src="https://s9e.github.io/iframe/2/twitter.min.html#1042038734693298176" style="background:url(https://abs.twimg.com/favicons/favicon.ico) no-repeat 50% 50%;border:0;height:250px;max-width:500px;width:100%"> <iframe data-s9e-mediaembed="twitter" allow="autoplay *" allowfullscreen="" onload="var c=new MessageChannel;c.port1.onmessage=function(e){style.height=e.data+'px'};contentWindow.postMessage('s9e:init','https://s9e.github.io',[c.port2])" scrolling="no" src="https://s9e.github.io/iframe/2/twitter.min.html#1042103746451464193" style="background:url(https://abs.twimg.com/favicons/favicon.ico) no-repeat 50% 50%;border:0;height:250px;max-width:500px;width:100%"> P.S.: Unfortunately this is not a scam.

Ugh, we're such fragile beings.
I'm trying to follow the facebook group, but I can't decipher most of it. Is he still in need of legal support too? I don't know any lawyer directly, but there's always friends of friends and all that.

MaV From what I understand they're currently in contact with Ukrainian Ambassador who's handling the situation.
