00:31tried to become someone that we face. I'm Dima, I'm the CEO of this funny buddy app
00:35and I'm speaking to you from Ukraine.
00:40The past days were worse than horror. Russia was attacking multiple cities,
00:50don't even bothering whether they can hit hospital, kindergarten or even
00:55Chernobyl zone. We are constantly fighting for our freedom and our people.
00:59Some of our team has been evacuated to the western Ukraine. Some even now
01:06currently helping team and country from bomb shelters. Others joined military
01:13forces. We don't even let Russian invaders to destroy our democracy, our
01:18will for freedom and our future. We understand that Russia has limited
01:22access to trustworthy sources, so we send push notifications to our Russian users
01:29showing the evidence of Russian aggression in Ukraine with motivation to
01:35protest. Moreover, we send in-app notifications to showing people all over
01:41the world that all the world should support Ukraine and every reface made
01:47within our app and our marquees stand with Ukraine hashtag and our flag.
01:53We got a lot of one-star reviews from Russian users in Apple Store and Google
02:07Play. But to be frank, it's such a small price we can pay for our freedom and
02:15lives of us and our people. Reface was launched and developed in the city of
02:21Kiev with a bright SML minds in 2019. We made a choice to build a best company
02:27out of here. We just moved to our new office in Kiev. Kiev is not only a
02:34powerful startup hub in the center of Europe, but also a transformation and
02:39meaningful peaceful city. If you watch it, you can also help us to be more
02:44powerful. Spread the world about the truth in Ukraine. Urge your governments
02:49to help us to send weapons and support. If U.S. and the whole world open the
02:57floodgates now, it will definitely help to change the situation.
