STATEMENT OF ADER HABER LAW FIRM ON TERMINATION OF BUSINESS WITH COMPANIES WHO CONTINUE OPERATING IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION:
No violence can be justified or forgiven! The invaders are destroying our homes, killing civilians, including many children. They are destroying our infrastructure, which has been so carefully rebuilt; kindergartens, schools and hospitals have innocently been under the blows of the enemy. Some areas are already on the verge of ecological catastrophe. They are trying to destroy not only our history, but each of us.
In this difficult time, we cannot remain aloof. We refuse to provide services and also do not carry out any cooperation with legal entities and individuals of the Russian Federation and with everyone who is associated with them.
Our team helps ZSU and territorial defense in different parts of the state in all ways available to us.
We believe that victory will be ours! Glory to Ukraine!
