The U.S.-Ukraine Chamber of Commerce claims that 90% of American companies have chosen to remain in Ukraine. Is this confidence forged in the fires of artillery?

Ukraine-U.S. Chamber of Commerce: Over 90% of American firms continue operations in Ukraine

Andrei Gondar, president of the Ukraine-U.S. Chamber of Commerce, told VOA that despite Russian attacks, more than 90% of American companies remain active in Ukraine.

He noted that some businesses face greater challenges in resuming production—such as tobacco manufacturers, whose facilities have been effectively destroyed following fires triggered by strikes.

Yet others have managed to recover. For example, Nespresso, a coffee machine brand, had its Flex factory in Mukacheve damaged last year due to an attack; the facility has since resumed operations.

"The business community believes in Ukraine and is committed to operating here. Russia is doing everything it can to drive American firms out. Resisting this effort is critical."
