Solidarity with our Ukrainian friends

Dear members and guests,

The barbaric war in Ukraine has been raging for several weeks now and more and more victims are being mourned. The suffering that has broken out over so many people is hard to put into words.

One of the many things in our forum rules says, this portal is neutral and politics does not belong here. We have thought about it for a long time, but sometimes it is not possible to stay neutral when basic human rights are completely denied. Our circle of fans consists of many nationalities, not only from German speaking countries, but also from Ukraine and Russia. We want to show our solidarity with our Ukrainian friends and show our condolences for the many civilian victims. But we also don't want to forget our Russian friends who are against this war, who are fleeing Russia in droves, who have been imprisoned and are now also living in fear. What is happening in Europe affects and moves us all, worldwide. I have also felt this strongly and in the middle of the night I have been in contact by phone with refugees who were on their way to the Polish border and heard shots and explosions around them.

Some of you are already socially involved - either with donations or in the first aid at one of the many stations. In the forum there is now also an campaign of a TPF fan from Austria: Hilfe für die Ukraine - die transportfever.net Community hilft.

We find such actions great, if you know others that are worth supporting, you are welcome to tell us and we will link them accordingly after checking (there are enough dubious offers...). Otherwise, please have a look at the official portals of the respective governments, here from the federal government: https://www.bundesregierung.de…stuetzung-ukraine-2009338.

We would ask you to keep postings on this topic out of other topics. Of course you can comment under this news post, but we reserve the right to delete comments that violate our forum rules or valid laws.

Please stay healthy and keep up the good cooperation here in the forum.

Many greetings,

Steffen
