BALANCE Ukraine's IT industry and war

From the first days of the Russian invasion against Ukraine, the country's IT industry has been actively helping the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the government. It has resulted in a strong volunteer movement, which today is represented by the 300,000-strong IT army. Its history is presented in the "First Code" docu-drama produced by the Kyiv-based European Association of Software Engineering.  

Vladyslav Savchenko, president of The European Association of Software Engineering, speaks at the Polish premiere of "The First Code," a documentary about the role of Ukraine's tech industry in the country's fight against the Russian invasion, in Warsaw at the weekend.
