My daughter mixed this New Year greeting for her friends and people around. But I happen to think it fits very well to this particular 2022 end of year / 2023 start of year.
As our Danish Queen send the first New Year best wishes to the people of Ukraine, those living in Denmark, and those fighting for freedom in Ukraine, I found it fitting to also dedicate this greeting specially to the people of Ukraine!
I wish you the best for the New Year, and that peace, harmony and humanity quickly becomes the new norm, all over Ukraine, including the territories currently under temporary occupation!
I continue to urge everybody to donate to Ukraine, thru all relevant channels. That includes humanitarian aid, but also military aid. The sooner Ukraine has the relevant military equipment, the sooner both Ukrainians and Russians will stop to loose lives, and can start to rebuild and create a new better future.
Nobody except a very few in the top of the food chain, specially on the Russian and Belarusian side, but also on the western side, has any opportunities to gain anything from the war!
For the rest it is nothing but a loosing situation.
So donate, with the only purpose of stopping the war as soon as possible!
Donate only to well established and known sites, since there are scams going around!
I wish the best to the users of the Components4Developers products and I am grateful that you continue to put up with the politicisation of my blog and site. But I simply can’t do nothing!
Happy 2023 and the best wishes for all! Kim/C4D
З Новим роком всіх вітаю!
Це новорічне привітання зробила моя дочка для своїх друзів і оточуючих. Але я вважаю, що це дуже добре підходить до цього конкретного кінця 2022 року / початку 2023 року.
Оскільки наша данська королева першими з Новим роком вітає народ України, тих, хто живе в Данії, і тих, хто бореться за свободу в Україні, я вважав за потрібне також присвятити це привітання особливо народу України!
Бажаю вам у Новому році всього найкращого, щоб мир, злагода та людяність швидко стали новою нормою по всій Україні, включно з тимчасово окупованими територіями!
Я продовжую закликати всіх робити пожертви Україні через усі відповідні канали. Це включає гуманітарну допомогу, а також військову допомогу. Чим швидше Україна матиме відповідну військову техніку, тим швидше і українці, і росіяни перестануть втрачати життя, і зможуть почати відбудовувати та створювати нове краще майбутнє.
Ніхто, окрім небагатьох у верхній частині харчового ланцюга, особливо на російському та білоруському боці, а також на західному боці, не має жодних можливостей отримати будь-що від війни!
Для решти це не що інше, як програшна ситуація.
Тож пожертвуйте з єдиною метою якнайшвидше припинити війну!
Робіть пожертви лише добре перевіреним і відомим сайтам, оскільки тут часто шахрайство!
Щоб отримати гуманітарну допомогу, ви можете зробити пожертву за посиланнями, які я навів у цій публікації (United Nations and CARE).
Я бажаю всього найкращого користувачам продуктів Components4Developers і вдячний, що ви продовжуєте миритися з політизацією мого блогу та сайту. Але я просто не можу нічого не зробити!
Щасливого 2023 року та найкращих побажань усім! Кім/C4D
UPDATE:
Jon Aasenden’s “Delphi Developer” group have invited me in again, and we have, I think, found an acceptable way that makes it possible to share my posts, while not putting too much of a burden on the moderators.
Therefore commenting on some of my announcements may be blocked, which I can live with.
If people want to discuss my post, they are welcome to do so on the original blog post, rather than spamming the Facebook group.

I have just dropped participating in a known Delphi Telegram group since it seems that if one is posting a link to a New Year greeting (this post), then that New Year greeting is not deemed welcome, due to me supporting Ukraine.
In fact several posts came up, complaining about it. A Ukraine Delphi developer chimed in, explaining his life in Ukraine, fearing for his family as a reply to those posts. That post was deleted too.
I see the same pattern in several Delphi related Facebook groups.
I got to state very clearly!
People can do as they will with their channels, Facebook groups. But the problem does not go away! And putting your heads in the sand will not solve the problem.
I will no longer support any media, channel or group that has the attitude “It is not our problem”, so I have pulled myself from the Telegram group.
Further today I also pulled myself from the Facebook group “Delphi developer” run by Jon Aasenden.
I have a number of times posted information about the access to free kbmMW licenses if people donate to Ukraine or for Ukrainian developers. Those got many complaints, why Jon ended up deleting my posts.
I actually respect Jon and have a professional friendship with him, and he is actually quite sympathetic to my views, but alas, if I can’t post posts like the ones I do, I will no longer spend time on those groups.
In my book, there can’t be a censoring on posts related to Delphi, Delphi code just because I express sympathy and support for Ukraine!
Any censoring like that equals participating in war crimes. I do not want to participate in war crimes and I do not want to encourage such!
