All these basic principles today are completely developed in Ukraine, and millions of people suffer through it. And the organization, which declares these high principles, turned out to be impossible to implement them in the situation with Ukraine.
It's a pity for an hour of war we bachili a lot of buttsshort-term UN in relation to the problems of Ukrainians. We are overwhelmed by the idleness and carelessness of calling speeches by their own names at that hour, if Ukrainians resist the aggression of Russia for 15 months, as if waging military, economic, environmental mischief and terror of the civilian population.

We share the principles declared in the Global Compact, and adhere to them every day, in order to ensure a healthy life.

We do not respect the possibility of losing the middle initiatives of an organization that itself does not demonstrate reliable reliability and is unique in squaring off its important contributions for the sake of ongoing development.
We will be ready to rethink our decision, sothe situation will change.

And we are inviting other Ukrainian companies, as members of the UN Global Compact, to step out of the platform at the same time as a sign of protest against the inactivity of the current situation in our country.
