I know that lots of you were saying that Codeforces should stay out of politics when there were lots of blog posts supporting Ukraine a couple of weeks ago. Well, I respect your opinion, but I can't agree. If you see a binary search tutorial on the "Top" page, do you complain about it if you're not interested in binary search, or do you just ignore it? And at the end of the day, it's not really about politics, but about people's lives.
Having said that, I'd like to invite you to join my 8-hour long live stream on YouTube against the Russian invasion of Ukraine next Sunday (27th of March) from 10 AM till 6 PM Ukrainian time (be careful, 27th of March is a daylight saving start in Ukraine and a lot of other countries, but it may not be the case for your country, so check your timezone using this link).

And during this stream, I'd like viewers to donate money to Ukraine. Here I'd like to get some help from you. Please, leave some organizations that help Ukraine to which we could donate money in the comments. Also, I'd like to have a counter on the stream that says how much money was donated by the viewers, but I don't understand how it is possible if they will not be donating it to me. If you know how to do it, also suggest your ideas. Of course, it's possible to donate the money to me, and then at the end of the stream I could send them to charity organizations, but first of all, you should 100% trust me in this case, and second of all, I'm a Russian citizen, so it's really hard for me to have any kind of PayPal, etc at the moment to collect money :)
If you are my friend or anyone who would like to be a guest on this stream, please DM me on Codeforces or Telegram. Don't be shy! If you have any ideas on what I should do during this stream, also write them in the comments.
Hope I'll see you in a week! NO WAR!
