Good morning, Dear Colleagues

It seems we have been forced to miss such heated discussions.

Forgive us, the UKRAINIAN community, because drones or missiles fall on us every day, there is no heat, water, and it is not always possible to even read all the work mail. But we continue to provide free Internet connection even in heating points, with concern for indomitable Ukrainians in different parts of the country (small video and photos in attach)

I apologize for the slow response.

It is difficult for me to imagine what business interests we hurt when we raised the issue of protecting our IP resources that we do not use for resale and enrichment. A whole army of people/companies appeared that have nothing to do with operator activity in Ukraine. And a well-fed person abroad will never understand a hungry person who is trying to survive. Because we think every day where to get diesel and the required number of generators. But analyzing the endless attack and terror with an endless number of letters, I understand that we are definitely on the right path.

It has gone so far that someone here even allows themselves to fire the board members of RIPE NCC

In any case, the topic we raised at the conference did not leave anyone indifferent, because the topic is very important. And surely the machinations will not pass easily.

I thank Petter Hans, Athena and each of the board members for your work. Thank you for the open dialogue. You are incredible and have nerves of steel. You had to read hundreds of letters with quarrels.

Unfortunately, for the sake of money, people lose face and cross forbidden red lines.

Thanks to Sander Steffann and the guys from the Keep Ukraine Connected - Global NOG Alliance project for supporting Ukraine - I want to emphasize that YOU are our guardian angels! Many operators were able to resume work in the liberated territories thanks to you. We are in an inestimable debt to everyone who helps.

Thank you everyone. Hugs
