Saturday, 24 February, marked the second anniversary of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, an aggression that has violated international law, caused incredible suffering and upended the global security order. AmCham EU reaffirms its solidarity with the people of Ukraine and we commend their bravery. We must remain engaged and unwavering in our defence of democratic values, the rule of law and human dignity. Our thoughts extend to all those affected, including our AmCham Ukraine colleagues. As the war persists, AmCham EU commends the unity and commitment shown to date by governments on both sides of the Atlantic towards the people of Ukraine and hope that EU and US leaders will remain united in their resolve and redouble their efforts.

In the past year, AmCham EU established a Ukraine Task Force to amplify the voice of our members: to support Ukraine and its people in this courageous struggle, and to ensure that the public and private sectors collaborate to support the country's fight for freedom, sovereignty, as well as its recovery, reconstruction and Euroatlantic integration. It is imperative that the Ukrainian nation and people prevail and secure a just peace. Ukraine fights not only for itself but for us: our democracies and our freedoms.

Three years on: American business in Europe remains committed to Ukraine
Today marks three years since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The American Chamber of Commerce to the EU (AmCham EU) continues to condemn the war as a clear violation of international law and a threat to the fundamental values we stand for. American companies in Europe remain steadfast in their support for Ukraine’s sovereignty, peace and the country’s economic reconstruction and recovery. A recent survey of AmCham EU member companies confirmed their strong commitment to Ukraine’s future, with all respondents expecting their company to play a role in supporting Ukraine and its reconstruction.
