Employee Spotlight: Tetiana Tymoshenko
Meet Tetiana Tymoshenko, Assistant Accountant at LoopMe — as part of our Ukraine Support Month Tetiana talks about how she has changed since the full-scale invasion began, the simple things she no longer takes for granted, and what she’s holding on to for the day the war ends.
What is your role at LoopMe?
I work as an Assistant Accountant.
How has your experience at LoopMe been overall, and especially under the current circumstances?
My experience at LoopMe has been very positive. Even with the difficult situation of the last few years, the company and my colleagues gave me a lot of support — flexible working hours, understanding when there were problems with internet or electricity, and just being kind and human. This means a lot to me.
How has the war affected your work life/role/time in the office?
The war has changed a lot in our work and our lives in general — power cuts, long air-raid alarms. But because of flexible working and support from my team, I was able to keep doing my job.
It has been over 1,600 days since the full-scale invasion began – how has this period changed you?
This time has taught me to value every day and remember important moments. I have become more able to handle stress, and I find strength in myself that I didn’t know I had before. I am thankful now for simple things — light, warmth, and having my family close.
How has the war impacted aspects of daily life that people may take for granted?
Simple things — like calling your family, hearing their voice, knowing they are safe, or meeting with friends — are now the most valuable things in life.
Where do you find strength and inspiration in today’s Ukraine?
I find strength in people, in the resilience and strength of Ukrainians, in how we help each other. Despite all the difficulties, we keep making plans for the future.
What’s the first thing you will do once the war is over?
The first day will be a day of silence. Every morning, we have a minute of silence to remember the people who are no longer with us. I think for all Ukrainians, that day will be a time to reflect, to be grateful to our defenders, and to remember those who made it possible for us to see this day.
What would you like your colleagues to understand?
Every Ukrainian is fighting an invisible battle right now — a battle with tiredness, anxiety, and uncertainty. But at the same time, we believe and hope for a better future. Your support and understanding mean more to us than you may realize!
