Dear Partners,
We are writing to you to thank you for all the years of cooperation and ask for your help.
There is an ongoing full-scale invasion of Ukraine started by russia on February 24. Since that day our lives have changed forever, millions of people lost their homes, thousands of civilians were killed, including hundreds of children, and thousands who lost one or both of their parents. You can read more info in English here: (UkrPravda, UkrInform, NV).
What happens in Mariupol and other smaller cities right now is a genocide of civilian Ukrainians.
The situation in Ukraine requires immediate action, help, and assistance on all possible levels (military, diplomatic, economic, social).
We hope that we can rely on you as our long-time partners and friends of Ukraine.
Here’s a minimum of what you can do:
1. Step out publicly and condemn the actions of russia by posting on your social media and website words of support for Ukraine
2. Demonstrate symbols of Ukraine in your official accounts all over the internet
3. Decline participation of any russian delegates (national and private) in any conferences, business partnerships, summits, meetings and stop doing business with russia on all levels.
4. Pressure your local government to stop any businesses with russia and provide Ukraine with all the military support requested on an official level.
In case you want to step further and provide substantial support to Ukraine here’s what else you can do:
1. Financial support of the local Poltava territorial defense unit where our team members are personally participating (
