#Iridium Russian forces use your technology to coordinate genocide in Ukraine. The taxes that your subsidiaries pay to the Russian government support atrocities brought by the Russian army on peaceful Ukrainians. Why do you let this happen?
Without additional weaponry, this war will become an endless bloodbath, spreading misery, suffering, and destruction. Mariupol, Bucha, Kramatorsk – the list will be continued. Nobody will stop Russia except Ukraine with Heavy Weapons. #ArmUkraineNow
We believe that their networks, equipment and services are actively used by the Russian military, navy, air force, airlines, government agencies, etc., thus supporting and facilitating the unjust and brutal war against Ukraine. 5/5

It’s been a month since Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, killing thousands of innocent civilians. But Ukraine will emerge victorious, and we urge companies around the world to accelerate this process by withdrawing their businesses from the terrorist country. 1/2

A common objection to withdrawing businesses from Russia is the concern that it will hurt ordinary Russians who are against the war. That is a valid point. However, there is no way to separate those openly against the war and those trusting propaganda. 1/4
The sooner they realize the war is not only hurting Ukraine but also taking away their futures, the sooner they might rise against Putin's regime. And those already risking their freedom and lives speaking up against it will likely find economic sacrifices minor ... 3/4
