Ukraine, Ukraine gate- March 28, 2022- The office of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that the president will award the “peace prize” to international companies that have left the Russian market.
Yermak said that the companies that left “deserve the respect of Ukrainians and peoples all over the world,” and that “our goal is not a penny to the budget of the aggressor state.”
Yermak called on other companies to “make the right decision.”
“It is impossible to support war crimes, and it is not permissible to trade with war criminals and make money from killing civilians,” he said.
Several international companies have suspended their business in Russia in many areas, including energy, transportation, finance and technology.
In a speech to the French parliament last week, Zelensky called on many of France’s business giants to leave the Russian market and “stop being the patrons of the Russian war machine”.
