June 1: Doing Business with Ukrainians
As a result of the war, many Ukrainian companies face difficulties with non-existing orders. However, they need to support their employees, and their families and therefore seek for assistance abroad. “Doing Business with Ukrainians” is a special project of AmCham Ukraine, aimed at encouraging the U.S. and global international companies to support Ukrainians, Ukrainian businesses, and consequently Ukraine as a whole. If you can, please consider using the services of Ukrainian companies, members of AmCham Ukraine. For more information and companies you can do business with, please visit:
