War isn’t good for anyone.”įollowing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last week, Western leaders have frozen the assets of Russia‘s central bank, limiting its ability to access $630 billion of its U.S. “We believe that peaceful dialogue is the only possible instrument for resolving conflicts. “We welcome the start of negotiations to resolve the current situation in Ukraine and hope that they will lead to a cessation of hostilities and a compromise,” Eugene Kaspersky (pictured above) wrote on Twitter at 1:35 a.m. Company co-founder and CEO Eugene Kaspersky previously served in the Soviet military intelligence service as a software engineer, according to media reports, and issued a statement earlier this week that failed to condemn Russia for invading Ukraine or even mention Russia. The company, which has its Americas headquarters in Woburn, Mass., also said it’s not in a position to comment or speculate on geopolitical developments outside its area of expertise. A company spokesperson told CRN Kaspersky has been able to pay all of its employees and contractors in North America, Europe, and Russia. “Kaspersky’s business operations remain stable and are not affected by the current sanctions,” a company spokesperson said in an email. Kaspersky’s global management team is monitoring the situation very carefully and is ready to act very quickly if needed, the company told CRN in a statement. The Moscow-based platform security vendor said it guarantees fulfillment of its obligations to partners and customers, including product delivery and support and financial transaction continuity.
Kaspersky said its business operations remain stable and haven’t been harmed by the crippling economic sanctions issued against Russia for its recent invasion of Ukraine.
