In the wake of the attacks, Ukraine has asked PlayStation, Xbox, and eSports organizations to stop supporting Russia. Multiple movie studios have stopped releasing new films in the country, while Apple no longer sells any products there.
Additionally, Ukrainian developer GSC Game World has announced that development on Stalker 2 has “shifted to the sidelines” as the company focuses more on protecting themselves and their families during this time.
If you want to help relief efforts, we’ve assembled a list of humanitarian organizations like the Ukrainian Red Cross and Unicef that you can donate to.
