Volunteers and experts from Netpeak, with the support of the Ministry of Digital Development, launched the ReplaceRUwithUA project to boycott software of Russian origin. A separate site #ReplaceRUwithUA has become part of the initiative, where all Ukrainian alternatives to Russian software are collected.
Message from the editor: Our defenders from the 3rd separate battalion of the UDA, who are in the Zaporozhye region, need things to resist the enemy: quadrocopters and smartphones to control them, night vision sights. Details for transferring funds to a monobank card – Katerina Kolonovich, card number 5375411505235312. Please join the fundraising. Glory to Ukraine!
Currently, a significant part of Ukrainian business uses Russian programs and solutions. This is not only sponsoring the aggressor country, but also a danger. Data from systems can be lost or they can get into the Russian Federation. An enterprise can experience a hacker attack using software, or it can fail at any time.
“By paying even a monthly subscription for any Russian product, the user becomes a sponsor of the Ukrainian genocide. Every shot and rocket in Ukraine is paid for by the taxes of Russian enterprises, including IT companies.
So with #ReplaceRUwithUA you can not only find a safe replacement for Russian software, but also support our talented developers and the Ukrainian economy during the war. Switch to Ukrainian and tell your foreign partners about high-quality Ukrainian software.”

The goal is to encourage the maximum number of users not only from Ukraine, but also from all over the world, to abandon software of Russian origin and choose Ukrainian alternatives.
At the end of April, Dmitry Dubilet, a well-known Ukrainian IT entrepreneur and co-founder of monobank, called on Ukrainian product companies to partner with the goal of creating alternatives to Russian software.
