KYIV, Ukraine – Saturday, November 18, 2023
The American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine delivered Thanksgiving Recognition 2023 to the defenders of Ukraine fighting for freedom, sovereignty, and independence and to the people of the United States for supporting Ukraine and Ukrainians during Russia's full-scale war. The recognition was delivered during the AmCham Thanksgiving Dinner in central Kyiv.
240 top managers of US and multinational companies' members of AmCham Ukraine, partners, friends, and stakeholders gathered in central Kyiv for the AmCham Thanksgiving during War 2023. The event showcased resilience and commitment to Ukraine and its recovery and sent a clear message to the world – the business community operating on the ground is grateful to those who support Ukraine on its path to victory, and Ukraine is open for business.
"At this time of Thanksgiving, we express our gratitude to the lionhearted defenders of Ukraine who fight for freedom and preserve the Ukrainian nation. We are honored to be inspired by their heroism, which shows the whole world what true bravery is. We thank the united people of the United States for the unwavering commitment and steadfast support of Ukraine on the path to victory. Together towards victory," commented Andy Hunder, President of the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine.
The US Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget A. Brink received the recognition on behalf of the American people. As Ukraine forges ahead on its path to victory, the world witnessed the unwavering commitment of the US people, the US Government, and US business leaders to Ukraine and the enduring partnership between the two countries.
“AmCham companies remain invested in Ukraine and play a vital role in economic recovery. The Ukrainian government and the private sector, working together, can help Ukraine reform, create a vibrant economy, and realize the goal of a Euro-Atlantic future. Together we can make sure that Ukrainians have the freedom to decide their own future”, said Bridget A. Brink, US Ambassador to Ukraine.
In 2015, the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine launched the Thanksgiving event, which has become an annual tradition. AmCham members deliver recognition to organizations, projects, or individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to the development of Ukraine's business and social climate, promoting the country internationally and putting efforts into its prosperity.
The American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine has many people it is grateful to, people who are changing Ukraine every day, approaching Ukraine's victory, and making it a better place to do business.
