«As you know, Russia has kept escalating its aggression and has continued its full-scale invasion of Ukraine for more than 13 days now. The lives in Ukraine, Europe's security, and the whole world's stability are now at stake. The nuclear threat and the overall madness might not stop at Ukrainian borders. It's time to act together now.
The Ukrainian business community addresses the world. As Ukrainian business people, we are actively and continuously strengthening our army. Together with international support, Ukrainian businesses do their best to increase the resistance against Russian attacks in the humanitarian sector and the media space. Nonetheless, we all can see - it is not enough at the moment.
Ukraine sees and appreciates the effort of hundreds of major companies to block or freeze the collaboration with Russian ex-partners. The word "Russian" is getting more and more toxic. We need the businesses worldwide to unite to provide full support to defeat our common enemy!
The measures are taking place on the long-term downgrade in Russia, but we also need to help change the humanitarian catastrophe situation in Ukraine immediately. We ask you to consider taking the following steps to oppose the RUSSIAN AGGRESSOR, namely:
- Help lobby your country decision-makers to provide Ukraine with jets so that we can protect ourselves from the air raids and minimize the civilian victims and infrastructure destruction
- Sign the petitions to close the sky and share them across your business communities; your word counts and might be decisive.
- Impose sanctions on families of Russian officials and oligarchs, expel them from Europe and the United States. - - Dozens of companies across Europe announced special job places from those who have already managed to get evacuated, is your company on that list?
- Hundreds of grass-root initiatives volunteer to provide accommodation, clothes, and food to those coming to the EU; systemic support saves people's dignity and protects them from further economic decreases.
We believe you know best which support can maximize your help. To inform your company and business community on the possible solutions, please share the following links in your newsletter among your partners and staff:
