Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher developer, CD Projekt Red, has revealed it is donating money to a Polish humanitarian organisation that is working directly with Ukrainian citizens affected and displaced by Russia’s unprovoked attack on Ukraine.
“The recent invasion on Ukraine, our friends and neighbours, left us shocked and outraged,” the company said by way of a statement shared via social media.
“In solidarity with all victims of this act of aggression, the CD Projekt Group has decided to support humanitarian aid efforts by donating 1 million PLN [​​around £181,500] to [the Poland-based humanitarian organization, Polska Akcja Humanitarna].
“We cannot remain indifferent in the face of such injustice and we ask everybody to join in and help in any way you can. Together we can make a huge difference!”

Polska Akcja Humanitarna itself is appealing for additional funds as it seeks to provide direct aid to people affected by the invasion.
It’s just one of a number of initiatives set up by gaming companies in response to the humanitarian crisis. For instance, yesterday we reported that Ubisoft is reportedly providing its Ukrainian staff with alternate housing, additional funds to aid travel and relocation, and early salary payments.
