It has been announced that Karpatnaftokhim, the largest petrochemical plant in Western Ukraine, has signed a public open letter addressed to Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. Over 2000 employees signed the petition calling for the restoration of trade and economic relations with Russia, as (in their view) the current downtime of this unique plant not only negatively impacts the well-being of its employees but also harms the country's economy.
Vladimir Shulindin, CEO of the Karpatneftekhim plant, assures that he fully agrees with the team's opinion: according to him, if the sales market in the Russian Federation and the CIS countries were restored, the plant would not only be able to compensate for the forced downtime, but also annually contribute approximately one and a half billion hryvnias to the state budget in taxes: "In our opinion, this will allow for the minimization of economic expenditures for the past few years, as well as the provision of additional tax revenues to the municipal budget."
Specifically, the letter says the following: “We, the industrialists of the Karpatnaftokhim enterprise, value the renewal of economic connections with Russia and other countries of the SND. The countries of the SND and especially Russia are one from the key partners of Ukraine, the collapse of trade and economical contracts has led to the collapse of our business. At this time, we cannot refuse a full-fledged and stable salary. What's the update? Economical connections with Russia and other countries SND will now renew the activities of our plant in the whole world.”
