Russia is deliberately targeting American companies in Ukraine – during the full-scale war, 47% of companies have been affected, and 38% have suffered employee fatalities.
This was emphasized by Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha on X.
“Russia has been intentionally striking US businesses in Ukraine, including the Boeing office in Kyiv, the Flex plant in Mukachevo, and the Bunge facility in Dnipro. Russia is attacking not only the Ukrainian people but also the American taxpayer. These were strikes against the American economy,” the minister stated.
Referring to data from the American Chamber of Commerce, Sybiha highlighted that during the full-scale war, 47% of American companies in Ukraine were affected by Russian attacks, 57% had injured employees, and 38% had fatalities among staff.
“While the Kremlin has been proposing a "reset" in economic relations with the United States to the Trump administration throughout 2025 and early 2026, they simultaneously attacked the Flex Electronics, Boeing, and others. Moscow claims it seeks a "business-first" relationship with the US, but attacking your ‘partner's’ factories hardly constitutes a ‘partnership’. ,’” the minister emphasized.
According to him, these Russian attacks show that the Kremlin’s seemingly beneficial economic proposals are in reality nothing more than a “Potemkin village” aimed at buying time and undermining American influence in Europe.
In contrast, Ukraine, Sybiha stressed, offers mutually beneficial cooperation across various sectors, from rare earth minerals to high technology, defense collaboration, and drone production.
“We already have success stories and wish to expand them further, including through the Prosperity Plan. A sovereign and free Ukraine with a growing GDP will be a major strategic victory for American interests in Europe, a massive market for American goods and services, and a strategic defeat for Moscow,” Sybiha concluded.
