@U24_gov_ua Thanks for your hard work. And thanks to the whole community. Standing together!

In 2025, we launched a raffle with @GSC_GW, the creators of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, to support the Bring Light Back campaign. Thanks to fans and donors, we raised $120k+, which allowed the purchase of generators — now operating in educational facilities across🇺🇦

Історії Чорнобиля живуть поміж нас. У сотнях тисяч сімей — у спогадах; у назвах вулиць наших міст і картинах на стінах; у відзнаках за участь у ліквідації; у легендах та документальних серіалах. У мовчанні вулиць Прип’яті. У долях, які змінила трагедія 1986 року. Майже 40 років потому ці історії нікуди не зникли. Багато з них ми знаємо. Але ще більше — так і залишилися непочутими. Разом із Національним музеєм «Чорнобиль» та Державним агентством України з управління Зоною відчуження ми запускаємо соціальний проєкт «Історії Чорнобиля» — простір для тих, кому є що розповісти. Це історії ліквідаторів і переселених сімей. Історії тих, хто допомагав іншим. Історії ваших батьків, дідусів і бабусь. Історії людей, яких уже немає, але яких ви памʼятаєте. Розкажіть вашу історію. Від сьогодні й до кінця березня 2026 року на спеціальній сторінці ви можете поділитися спогадами, додати фото чи матеріали, які вважаєте важливими: chornobylstories.info У квітні — в місяць 40-річчя Чорнобильської трагедії — ми зберемо ці історії та поділимося ними зі світом. Ця ініціатива — не просто про історії з минулого. Це те, чим і є Чорнобиль.

The stories of Chornobyl live among us. In hundreds of thousands of families, in their memories, in the paintings on the walls, and in the memorials of our cities. They live in liquidation awards, legends, and documentaries, in the silence across the streets of Prypiat. And in the fates forever changed by the tragedy of 1986. Almost 40 years later, these stories are still here; we know a lot of them, but even more remain unheard. Together with the Ukrainian National Museum Chornobyl and the State Agency of Ukraine on Exclusion Zone Management, we are launching the Chornobyl Stories social project — a space for those who have something to tell. The stories of liquidators and families leaving their homes. Stories of those who helped others. Stories of your parents, grandfathers, and grandmothers. Stories of people who are no longer with us but whom you still remember. Tell your story. From today until the end of March 2026, you can share your memories, add photos, or upload materials you consider important on a dedicated website: chornobylstories.info In April, the month of the 40th anniversary of the Chornobyl tragedy, we will collect these stories and share them with the world. This idea is not just about the stories from the past; it is about Chornobyl and what it really is.

24 лютого 2026 року — чотири роки з початку повномасштабного вторгнення. Чотири роки — достатньо, щоб змінитися. Але вони ніколи не зроблять війну нормою. З 2022 року ніхто не залишився тим, ким був до цього. Писати код під час повітряної тривоги — звично, але ненормально. Гріти пляшечку для маленького сина на штучному каміні — звично, але ненормально. Підтримувати роботу апарата штучної вентиляції завдяки переносному генератору — звично, але ненормально. Їхати до Донецької області, а виходити в Барвінковому на Харківщині — звично, але ненормально. Звичність підмінила нормальність. Ми навчилися планувати день навколо відключень. Жити в напівтемряві, але тримати світло всередині. Тримати зарядні станції напоготові — бо ніколи не знаєш, коли вони знадобляться. Встигати до комендантської години. Чекати новин від тих, хто зараз на фронті. Ми змінилися, але не змирилися. Ми втомлюємося, але не маємо права зупинитися. У четверту річницю повномасштабного вторгнення ми дякуємо всім, завдяки кому продовжуємо жити й працювати: військовим, медикам, енергетикам, волонтерам, комунальникам, вчителям — усім, хто робить своє щодня. Тим, хто наближає справедливий мир, який обов’язково настане. GSC Game World. Photos by Pavlo Pashko — @ukrainer.

February 24, 2026 — four years since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. Enough time to change, but not enough time to make the war a normalcy. Since 2022, no one has been the same as we were before. Writing code during an air raid siren is nothing new, but that’s not ok. Warming a bottle for your little son on an artificial fireplace is nothing new, but that’s not ok. Keeping a medical ventilator running with a portable generator is nothing new, but that’s not ok. Driving to Donetsk but stopping at Barvinkove in the Kharkiv region is what we are getting used to, but that’s not ok. Everydayness replaced the normal life. We have learned to plan our day around power cuts. To live in semi-darkness but keep the lights on inside. To keep charging stations at the ready — because you never know when you might need them. To make it home before the curfew. To wait for the news from those who fight at the frontlines. ​We have changed, but we have not given up. We are tired, but we can’t stop. On the fourth anniversary of the full-scale invasion, we thank everyone who keeps us alive and working: the military, medics, energy workers, volunteers, utility workers, teachers — everyone who does their part every day. We thank those who bring us closer to the just peace that will surely come. GSC Game World. Photos by Olha Oborina, Petro Chekal, Viacheslav Ratynskyi — @ukrainer.

🎄❄️ New Year's Message from the GSC Game World Team to our community and friends.

❄️🌲 Even in the Zone, there is an evening of unity — a time to meet old friends, celebrate, and dream about the year ahead. Cheers and the clinking of glasses can be heard from every window. Somewhere music is playing; elsewhere, stalkers are enjoying cozy, warm celebrations. The light snow falls on the majestic Christmas tree. This evening, no one is alone. Happy Holidays. GSC Game World team.

❄️ ☃️ It’s that time of the year! The Zone is snowy, the artifacts are pricier, and even traders are in a good mood. You can get S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl 40% OFF from 18 Dec – 6 Jan. Perfect time to introduce your friends to the Zone. store.steampowered.com/app/1643320/ST… 🎄

The construction of the sarcophagus over the destroyed 4th reactor of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant was finished on December 14, 1986. 20 years later, this day was named as the Remembrance Day of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant disaster liquidators. The sarcophagus became the world’s shield against the radiation that threatened to consume the planet. This man-made barrier was created under extreme conditions by heroes who never stopped doing their jobs. 206 days of construction. More than 90 thousand liquidators. Hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of concrete. One feat. This construction gave the world a chance — the chance to avoid an even bigger disaster. Liquidators did everything so humanity could continue to live. Remember their feat. Volodymyr Repik / AP

In celebration of our 30th anniversary, you can find discounts of up to 75% on all GSC Game World games on Steam as part of our Anniversary Sale — including games from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Cossacks, Heroes of Annihilated Empires, and other universes: store.steampowered.com/developer/GSC/…

Today, we mark a special date. 🔗 youtube.com/watch?v=q2ib3j… Not just an anniversary, but another step on a path that began with a dream — and still runs on it. The formula has never changed: an idea, a team, and the conviction that games can be more than entertainment. This road, with all its insane challenges and unexpected turns, is what has shaped us. From S.T.A.L.K.E.R. to Cossacks, from Hover Ace to Heroes of Annihilated Empires, and every world in between — we build places where anyone can become a hero, where magic feels real, and where radioactive fog cradles legends. We create worlds. You are the ones who make them breathe. In these 30 years, we’ve done far more than ship games. We’ve built a community of people who don’t just play — they vanish inside, they live every second of it. That’s why there has never been an “us” and a “you.” There has only ever been us, together. And much more is still ahead: new worlds, new challenges, and new emotions. We’re not stopping. Thank you for walking this road with us. With love, GSC Game World ❤️

Stalkers, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is already taking its first steps on @PlayStation. Before we rush off to explore the console Zone, we want to thank you for your continued support. See you in the Zone — now also on PlayStation®5.

This one started with a single email and grew into one of the most glowing partnerships we've ever had. A match happened that ultimately made millions of players happy. We've said this many times, but we are genuinely grateful to the @Xbox team for all the collaboration, incredible showcases, heartfelt care, and amazing professionalism. Your hand of support could always be felt, even in the darkest moments. Together, we gave players an unforgettable experience. We are sincerely proud of what we've achieved together.
