More than 90% of American companies continue to operate in Ukraine despite Russian attacks, said Andrey Hander, president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine, in an interview with Voice of America.
He noted that some companies face greater difficulties in recovering from the attacks. For example, businesses in the tobacco industry have effectively lost their production facilities due to fires caused by Russian attacks.
However, others have been able to overcome these challenges. One example is Nespresso, whose facilities were badly damaged last year when Russia hit the Flex plant in Mukachevo.
"Businesses believe in Ukraine and want to operate here. Russia is doing everything it can to ensure that American businesses are not present in Ukraine. It's essential to resist it," Hender said.
