The following statement may be attributed to a spokesperson for The UNOVI Company:

Most importantly, we are deeply concerned about the conflict in Ukraine. We deplore the violation of international law and the Russian aggression against Ukraine.  We stand with the Ukrainian people.

“Given the unrelenting assault on Ukraine and the escalating humanitarian crisis, we are taking steps to pause those business activities in Russia and Belarus, we can and will pause immediately. Nowadays, UNOVI announced it was reviewing its business in Russia. We will separate our practice in Russia and Belarus from the global company network. UNOVI will no longer operate in Russia and Belarus as well as we will suspend all those clients account which are from Russia and Belarus.

Even as we suspend these business activities, we remain committed to our dedicated colleagues in Russia, who will remain employed. While we know this is the right decision, it will have an impact on UNOVI’s ~100 professionals located in Russia and Belarus. We will support all impacted colleagues during this transition and do all we can to assist them during this extremely difficult time.

We will continue to prioritise the needs of our people and clients. Whilst we bring the full strength of UNOVI’s resources to bear in addressing the mounting humanitarian needs in Ukraine. And we continue to work with our partners to provide urgent aid and other much-needed assistance to refugees.

We stand with the people of Ukraine

UNOVI stands unequivocally with the people of Ukraine. Russia’s invasion of this sovereign nation is an indefensible act of aggression that echoes the darkest days in European history. Our overriding concern at this time is the well-being of our colleagues in Ukraine and their families. We are taking every possible action to ensure their safety and that their essential needs are being met under fast changing circumstances. We are concerned about all of our colleagues affected by this ongoing crisis.

Ukraine is under attack now, everyone has to help in any possible way. Moreover, our activities focus on fund-raising events, raising awareness of the war in Ukraine by engaging individuals, organisations, private and government institutions, and media in the EU countries, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, The UK, The United States Of America and others.

Emergency Response is what every Ukrainians need nowadays. We’ve created this project to provide urgent help and support in the face of extreme and unforeseen circumstances in Ukraine. Receiving and distributing donations, We give real helping hand to people of Ukraine affected by Russia’s invasion into Eastern Ukraine and annexation of Crimea, families of wounded or killed for freedom and independence of Ukraine instead of just doleful and  words

Donating money for Emergency Response you have to be sure that any contribution will make an impact, whether you’ll donate $1 or $10,000. Every little bit helps. Please donate, create a fundraiser or simply share the information! Thank you for your support of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people.”

Statement from Global CEO Office

As the war in Ukraine continues to unfold, I wanted to provide you with an update on how UNOVI is responding to the tragic events. First, I and UNOVI’s employees’ hearts and minds continue to be with those who are needlessly suffering as a result of this conflict. It is devastating to see the Russian bombing of Ukraine.
In response to the current aggression, UNOVI will cease any operations with Russian businesses, after close consideration, we’ve decided now is the time to act.
As a result, we have also opened the UNOVI Helping Hand Program, allowing all Ukrainians and those who need it most globally to receive the funds that we aggregate from our charity activities to support humanitarian efforts related to the conflict in Ukraine.
We are a mission- and values-based company. This perspective transcends borders. We have supported one another and stayed focused on serving clients and providing our employees with their jobs throughout the pandemic, and I ask that we continue to do so again now.
We will continue to comply with all applicable sanctions; UNOVI does not serve any entities of Russia’s Central Government. Our primary focus will continue to be for the safety and well-being of our people as well as bringing to bear our global resources to address the humanitarian needs across Europe.
