| | Dear BrickLink members,
The LEGO Group released the following statement regarding the war in Ukraine.
Our thoughts are with all the children and families suffering as a result of
the war in Ukraine.
Our priority is the safety of all our colleagues. We are in contact with our
Ukrainian team and are providing ongoing support to ensure their safety. We are
also working to support other colleagues around the world impacted by the escalating
crisis including our team in Russia.
We have paused shipments of products to Russia given the extensive disruption
to the operating environment.
We care deeply about the lasting impact on children and together with the LEGO
Foundation and Ole Kirk’s Fond, we will donate DKK 110 million (approx. USD 16.5
million) to emergency relief efforts, with a focus on providing support for children
and families. The donation will be made to existing partners, including the United
Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Save the Children, and the Danish Red Cross.
This is a volatile and constantly evolving situation which we are monitoring
closely.
What does this mean for BrickLink?
The global payment platforms we use on BrickLink are currently not available
in Russia and deliveries to and from the country are severely disrupted. Given
this, buying and selling activities in Russia will be temporarily deactivated.
Members impacted by this will be informed individually.
We are grateful for everyone in our community and never imagined we would face
a situation such as this or witness the heartbreak and devastation we’re seeing
in Ukraine.
Please continue to adhere to our community guidelines and show each other respect
and support.
Thank you for your understanding.

Well said Tanja.
Some sellers will be hurt, however it was the only humane decision Lego and Bricklink
could make. And the donation, generous. I respect Lego and Bricklink and Tanja
even more for making the donation and taking the hard steps that are necessary.
The stores in Russia will suffer, but the bigger picture, including the financial
means to exchange funds from stores, is much more important. Perhaps there is
a way to let Russian stores sell to buyers within Russia.
Anyway Tanja, it is commendable and refreshing to see Lego and Bricklink take
a stand.

Well, what do you expect them to do considering current events? It's not
exactly easy (or possible in some cases) to exchange money and items with Russia.
And it seems like Russian sellers have no way to pay their fees currently, so
that adds a problem too.

if your company is registered in another country, your payment details are also
in another country. How to change the country of sale of the store?

| That was the proper move that peoples in EU expected (I guess) from the LEGO
Group!
The Donation is an extra; but it'll be appreciated where this stupid destruction
needs to be rebuilt.
Those News are much appreciated here.
Thank you personnaly for your time, Tanja!

Excellent news. And good on LEGO for thinking about all the children and families
involved in this nightmare. The refugees need a lot of help and global support
right now. For anyone reading this, if you have the means, please consider donating
to help house and feed all of the displaced Ukrainian families that have had
to flee their homes.

| Hello,
does this mean we will be still able to log in and work with my inventory (export,
import, edit) in deactivated mode?
