Indica publisher 11bit donates $50k to help Ukrainian children affected by Kiev hospital attack

Indica publisher 11 Bit Studios is donating $50,000 to help Ukrainian children affected by Russia’s devastating attack on the Ohmatdite Children’s Hospital in Kiev.

The Polish studio said it is making the donation because “mere words will be incomplete without meaningful action”.

“We are saddened to see Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continue, and the recent despicable attack by Russian military forces on a children’s hospital in Kiev has left us deeply shaken,” the studio said in a statement released via Twitter.

“But words alone will fall short without meaningful action – we previously stated that a portion of 11 Bit Studios’ revenue generated from Indica would be donated to help children affected by the war in Ukraine, we knew now was the time to act. That’s why we decided to donate $50k to the Liberty Ukraine Foundation to help Ukrainian children receiving treatment at the Ohmatdit Children’s Hospital in Kyiv.”

“War devastates everything in its path, and is most brutal against those who are most innocent – children. Let this message resonate with all of us – players and developers – and let us do everything we can.”

ICYMI, Finnish newspapers Helsingin Sanomat is using Counter-Strike to provide Russian players with accurate news of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine,
