Ukraine is supported by 141 countries whose overall economy is 43 times larger than that of Russia.

You can count on clients from Europe, North and South America, Japan, Republic of Korea, Australia and other economies that are the largest in the world.

2. Reputation

Customers and partners will be confident that your business has values. The war will end but the reputation will stay forever.

3. Employees

You will prove to your employees that your business is about people, human values and the desire to make the world a better place.

Business in Russia entails many risks related to corruption, the absence of law and justice. Russia has no independent media. Lawlessness of security forces is systematic, and international institutions have no influence over Russia.

More sanctions have been imposed on Russia than on any other sanctioned country in the span of the last 70 years.

5. Security

Russia is waging an aggressive war, threatens to attack the European Union and launch a nuclear strike against the civilized world. It is essential to stop doing business in Russia in order to bring peace closer and restore global security.

How does Russia use foreign businesses
to wage the war?

Technology and electronics.

Technologies

Russia uses foreign technologies, equipment, telecommunications for waging the war: modern weapons, devices for the army, communication, transport, work of commanders, work of intelligence, cyberforces, the spreading of propaganda.

Foreign technologies are used in all business spheres of Russia.

IT business.

IT business

Russia uses foreign software, servers, computers, digital services for waging the war. Cyberattacks are a very important factor in this war. For example, IT services are used by the banks that pay salaries to military men.

All modern businesses apply foreign IT services.

Service sector.

Service sector

Russia uses services of the civilized world to wage the war. The service sector share in the Russian economy comprises 69%.

Russia cannot maintain its economy and wage the war without foreign services.

Consumer goods.

Consumer goods.

Many foreign businesses serve as the rear of the Russian forces: food, tabacco, chemical industry, light industry, household goods, building materials, etc.

Other business spheres indirectly support the rear of the aggressor country, as well.

Stop business = stop war
How does it work?

Many foreign companies have already stopped doing business in Russia, which has brought visible results. Russia has big problems with logistics, army provision and technologies for waging war. The worsening of the economic situation leads to de-escalation.

Every time you deliver goods or provide services in Russia, you practically support the aggressor.
