Ukrainian activists urge users of Russian software to replace them with Ukrainian analogs

By Ukraine Digital News / May 2, 2022

“By paying for Russian software products, you sponsor Russian aggression toward Ukraine. Every missile that destroys the Ukrainians’ homes and takes away thousands of civilians’ lives is purchased for the taxes from the profit of Russian companies, including software developers,” says a group of Ukrainian volunteers and experts from Netpeak, a Ukrainian digital marketing agency.

The group has published a list of popular Russian software and “matched them with 100% Ukrainian alternatives,” which they claim are “easy to switch to.”

Despite the Russian invasion, notes the group, “Ukrainians continue providing quality software to customers worldwide.”
