“This was a tough decision to make after building close relationships with our Russian partners and customers who have been a pleasure to do business with since 2005,” a spokesperson added. 

“As the situation for civilians in Ukraine worsens, we are deeply concerned for their safety and wellbeing.”

And, in partnership with the Ukrainian Red Cross Society, Combilift has donated €50,000 to “aid the supply of relief assistance” to the people of Ukraine “including people that are displaced and those who are on the move”.
