Zelenskyy calls on US business to come to Ukraine and leave Russia

This was reported on the Telegram channel of the Office of the President of Ukraine.

"Right now we are calling on all companies to come to Ukraine and leave the Russian market. It is obvious that participation in the reconstruction of Ukraine after the hostilities will give an extraordinary moral advantage to all businesses that will participate in the reconstruction. And it is also clear that any business that now helps the Russian tyranny in any way will not be able to avoid problems and a reputational crisis. American businesses are well positioned to take a leadership role in rebuilding Ukraine's economy and infrastructure, and in demonstrating to the world that human nature should serve worthy causes and that this has – and always will – yield the greatest results. Ukrainian life will inevitably get a new start after this war," the post reads.

In particular, Zelenskyy addressed members of the National Association of Manufacturers of the United States. It is one of the largest associations in the American business world, representing large and small manufacturers from all industries in all 50 states. The association currently has about 14,000 members.
