Konstantin Vasyuk: ‘If you keep or add contracts with Ukrainian staff and companies, then you are supporting Ukraine’

Irish tech firms should seek to work with Ukrainian companies in a show of solidarity against Russia’s invasion, the head of a Kyiv-based trade association has said.

Konstantin Vasyuk, executive director at IT Ukraine Association, said international companies had a role to play in helping the country rebuild by doing business with Ukrainian firms.

“If you stop contracts with Russia, all you do is fight Russia. If you keep or add contracts with Ukrainian staff and companies, then you are supporting Ukraine. We are together like one big team to fight this evil,” Vasyuk told the Business Post.
