From the name of their registered domain (dao-donbass) I am assuming that they have ethereum in mind.
Maybe we have some Ukraine based members who could teach them about BitShares superiority over ethereum ??!

How BitShares is a proven technology, faster & more throughput, ready to be imtegrated, etc.

They probably know very little about it and simply go with the ethereum hype!
