Andy Hunder, president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine, has called the Russian attack on the Mukachevo plant today an act of humiliation.

Speaking on Facebook, he recalled that overnight, Russian missiles attacked one of the largest American investments in Ukraine – Flex – an active member of the American Chamber of Commerce, Ukrinform reports.

"Russia continues to destroy and humiliate U.S. businesses in Ukraine, targeting companies that invest and trade on the U.S. stock markets," Hunder said.

He stressed that Russia is not seeking peace; it is attacking American interests and values.

"We are calling on President Donald Trump to stand with American business in Ukraine. Stand with the values that built America. Show Putin that the United States protects its own," Hunder said.

He also noted that, luckily, no employees were killed in the missile strike due to the company observing stringent safety measures.
