Is simplicity a sign of genius?
The startup takes not technology, but the idea of ​​the product. "It's nothing complicated at all, we're betting on a new approach to communication," says Kostyantyn Medvedenko, head of service development.

You cannot write text messages in Obimy - only comments on your mood in 24 letters. No photos and videos of friends - only animated gestures. There is no avatar - only colorful squares. "Simple mechanics and the lack of a lot of content that is in Telegram or other chats," says Zasutsky about the winning strategy for messengers and social networks.

The main audience of Obimy is young people aged 15-20. They share a link to their Obimy profile on TikTok or Twitter and share their feelings. "Young people get attention from each other: kiss, hug or even slap," says Zasutskyi.

Since March 11, when the app first soared from 20,000 users (January-February) to 1 million, users have sent 229 million senses. In the last 30 days - 44 million. Other applications such as Reface, Clubhouse or Nimses have also demonstrated such viral growth, but the main problem is to keep the audience, says Oleksiy Vitchenko, founder of the Digital Future Foundation. He's looking at startup investments for his average $200,000-$400,000 paycheck.

Is this a default?
On the eve of the agreement, the main global rating agencies simultaneously lowered Ukraine's credit ratings to the pre-default level.

In 2015, the last time Ukraine held large-scale negotiations with creditors, the Ministry of Finance of Natalia Yaresko managed to agree on the write-off of 20% of the debt (about $3.7 billion) from the $15 billion that had to be paid in 2015-2019, and a postponement for four years. Instead, Ukraine had to give more substantial compensation than now. The bondholders received new bonds with a higher interest rate (7.75% instead of 7.22%, but for a smaller amount) and GDP warrants for $3.2 billion. Under these papers, Ukraine undertook to give creditors a certain percentage of economic growth over 20 years 3%

What Ukraine agreed with creditors
The government offered the owners of all bonds, or so-called Eurobonds, issued by Ukraine from 2015 to 2021, to postpone their payments for 24 months. Under these papers, Ukraine attracted about $17 billion.

Thanks to this, Ukraine will not pay interest or repay the debt until August 2024. Compensation to investors for the delay - interest will be accrued for two years longer. However, if the economic situation improves, Ukraine has the right to return to the normal schedule of debt service early.

The Ukrainian app for sharing feelings Obimy broke into the top of the American App Store, bypassing Tinder and Netflix. Since March, 6.6 million people have used it. Can Ukrainians convert unexpected popularity into a stable business?

The founder of Obima, Zhenya Zasutskyi, 33, was invited to call on May 7 by Sean Rad, the founder and former CEO of the dating app Tinder. Obimy was overtaken by his company, Pinterest, and Netflix in the rating of the American App Store. In the last five months, the app has been downloaded by 6.6 million users. How did Obimy bribe the audience?

The production of UGears, which was placed between Gostomel and Gorenka in the Kiev region, suffered from fighting. The shells damaged two houses, the Russian soldiers burned down the warehouse, depriving them of the stock of finished products. Prote company, among partners such as Disney and Harry Potter, is rapidly innovating - it is required to win export contracts. UGears didn’t spend any of them, but for the help of new models, they increase sales. Narazі virobnitstvo vzhe pratsyuє on povnu poguzhnіstvo.

Export has become a reference circle for Ukrainian pickers of toys. Since the beginning of a full-scale invasion from Ukraine, maybe 6 million migrants have gone, according to UN data on 19 days.

Ukrainian pickers of toys feel better for themselves, they can get away with less. Regardless of those that millions of their clients went from the country.

In the nearest days of the world, the Ukrainian toy maker UGears will release a sprinkling of new patriotic products. A picker of wooden constructors in the cyberpunk style has already built models that are going to be sold overseas in Ukraine. Company manager Gennadiy Shestak still don't want to tell me more about the new product. It seems less likely that the designers will play in the spirit of the Russian-Ukrainian war, in an ironic way for the extreme-aggressor soul.
