Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba asked IKEA to resume activities in the country

“I urge Swedish companies to actively explore and re-engage in Ukraine,” he wrote.

He urged Swedish companies to follow the example of Scania Group, which, according to Kuleba, is already ramping up its activities in Ukraine.

“Especially IKEA, which have left six Ukrainian factories since February 24, is the time to return,” the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry concluded.

In June, the Swedish company H&M Group reported losses due to the shutdown of its stores in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine.
