Anything that can help stop this > insanity, is welcome, IMO. How Putin will react to a banner on the PHP web site, or any other action, is anybody's guess. I have put something on my own web site. It is an expression of solidarity with Ukraine - something to encourage them. It Putin/Russia notices it I suspect that it will only invite a DDOS attack or similar - if they do anything at all. The big question: should there be something on the PHP web site. Hard to answer as the discussion has shown. I would say "no" but encourage everyone who has a personal site to do so and to raise discussion with their employer about so doing. Maybe also help financially (eg URL below), but beware: scammers will have set up sites like this: https://www.donateukraine.com/ Personally: I am in my late 60s and this is bringing back unpleasant memories of my 20s when we were seriously concerned about impending destruction from nuclear war.
