All the world currently talks about the situation in Ukraine. Everyone who knows the truth are trying to help stop invasion. The main problem here is that most of Russian people believe in Putin's political position. Moreover they will have Instagram and Twitter blocked soon in Russia so that they won't be able to know the real state of things.
Therefore our responsibility is to bring the truth to Russian people and they will do the rest. PS. 70% of surveyed people support Putin. How else we can inform them of what is really going on if not writing about it everywhere? If you, as PHP community, do not do anything about it, it would mean that you don't care. Well, everyone who writes php internals is for discussion of php internals only doesn't care and probably won't.
