So, how do I communicate with you? I must be posting from my shoes.

You surely know better about Ukraine than me living here, but events you 
describe happened half a year ago and infrastructure is completely stable 
since March. Even then it was not so bad as you describe, I worked 
remotely the whole winter.

Anyway, I don't understand how it's related to my request. Millions of 
Ukrainians are in EU.

You are exaggerating the wrong issue. Many people in Ukraine are idiots 
and won't use anything except for Facebook, Instagam, TikTok, YouTube or 
whatever garbage is trendy now. However, the userbase for sharing content 
for free is huge and many people would love to have a backup on the Usenet 
where content doesn't become unaccessible once people stop seeding it 
(many such cases on toloka.to).
