In a message sent over on Twitter, GSC Game World calls for aid on those affected by the ongoing war, and you can read it in its entirety below.

Here is the message from the STALKER 2 devs:

As of today, the Russian Federation has officially declared war on Ukraine. Our country woke up with the sounds of explosions and weapons fire, but is ready to defend its freedom and independence, for it remains strong and ready for anything. The future is unknown, but we hope for the best, are ever sure of our armed forces, and our belief in Ukraine.

We thus address all of our colleagues in the gaming industry, players, bloggers, or anyone who sees this post in their newsfeed: share this, do not stand aside, and help those in need.
