PayRequest stands with Ukraine

A Message from Geert Jan Sloos (CEO & Co-founder PayRequest)

Dear World,

On 21 February 2022, I was on a metro in Bangkok, (Thailand) and read Russia invaded Ukraine,

I could not believe Russia made the decision after so many warnings from the world, to still start a war, and even call it a freedom mission.

A political leader who lives in the past in the time of the Soviet Union (the year 1922) the worst thing is that we as a society will partly pay the price for his wrong choices, but in the longer term he will see for himself that he himself is the biggest loser, and that war is never a solution.

Many Russians are leaving Russia in search of a more stable life, nobody wanted this, I am deeply impressed by the strikes in Russia, despite the major consequences this has for individuals if they get arrested.

Europe has not seen a war like this since the second world war, we hope that it will soon end and that Russia will feel the consequences of this mistake they have made.

Regards,

Geert Jan (CEO PayRequest)
