Ukraine Awareness Beacon
Hi,
In 2020, Niantic introduced a Black Lives Matter beacon. Some of you might remember I was against it; it was disconnected from the lore, but it was justified by reality, and it remained in the game.
I know I may not have been the best participant on the forum, but I'd like to ask for a new beacon along the same lines:
I live in Ukraine, 200 km from the Donbas frontline, and from the entities which Putin recognized as "independent" today. I was asked for feedback about the Kureze effect phases and how to make the 3rd phase better, and I made suggestions... but then I remembered that I don't know what will happen during the next few hours, let alone what situation I'll be in come March phase 3.
Since 2014, certain people of our Northern neighbor were waiting for Ukraine to rot from the inside, in order to have a bad example of what happens to a country which turns away from authoritarian, censorship regime and looks into transforming to a democratic and free society. But that didn't happen. Now it seems as if the same people have decided to crush Ukraine before it could become a good example. Attempting to once again try to erase our nation, our history and identity.
Before something horrible happens, a lot of people die and get displaced, I ask Niantic to make some sort of awareness beacon for all of us agents living here.
Who knows maybe it will in some way help to prevent such scenario.

Help UKRAINE
totally agree with author, it will be the best way to support Ukrainian Ingress players, because Ingress is more than game

Once, in 2014, I was already a refugee, I fled from the city of Donetsk, as the military forces of the Russian Federation brought war to my house. The second time I will not run away, the second time I have clutched the ground with my hands and feet, nails and teeth and will not give the old dictator even a handful of πΊπ¦. We will fight for freedom and a peaceful sky, for prosperity and democracy. Like this post, install a beacon, post it, tell about us to your friends. Be with us. Be united.

F*CK the Huilo, come on, Niantic, make something really meaningfull, at least you can as a developer. Ukraine stands against f*cking Mordor, and you can help us somehow, even through some signs.

Agree. There is a great community in Ingress and it is always better for people when they know that they are not alone. We need to show unity.
Agree!
Totally agree! πΊπ¦πΊπ¦πΊπ¦

Do you think it was not worth introducing the black lives metter beacon because there are racist agents?
Glory to Heroes!
Support Ukraine πΊπ¦
Most of the people I know from Russia disagree with their president. They donβt wantΒ theirs country invade to Ukraine and occupy its territories. So I agree with the author. We need to raise awareness to such a rude breaking of world rules.

Literally, an agent shitposting from Belgorod, Russia.
Totally support this initiative. Niantic should say 'No' to war.
I'm in contact with certain people from Russia and Belarus. No one supports war.
Except crazy people who want to rewind the history and re-create the USSR.
Let's do it!
Itβs good idea!
