INTRO:
Volodymyr Kukharenko: "Why are Ukrainian CEOs and business owners like me writing about war and the history of relations with Russia instead of concentrating on our job? No, it’s not fun at all. And no one pays us, we may earn much more than any troll farmer may offer if we just switch to business. In fact, we get distracted from our businesses and might earn less because of that. So why do we write this seemingly not business-related stuff?
First, it IS business-related. There are lots of ways the war changes the business. Even if you are lucky and your farm or office does not get destroyed by a bomb, and your clients have not run away. Because you understand it might still happen if history goes the wrong way. You cannot make strategic planning if you know that your army is holding the frontlines for you. Your team is stressed with the war too, and it does have an impact on their productivity and motivation. And, in winter, you have to manage power cuts that happen because your infrastructure is getting bombed. And of course, you still can get into the trenches. With all of this, you cannot stay impartial and feel you have to do something.
And what can I do, as a small business owner, still remaining in the office? I may donate some of the profits to the army, but it does not feel enough. So we feel we need to tell our foreign colleagues what’s happening here, explain why it is happening, and oppose Kremlin narratives that are spread consciously or even unconsciously.
I dream about the day when I can get back to writing purely about the business and concentrate on business strategies as much as I want. But that is possible only when all the land of Ukraine gets liberated."
