ArcelorMittal Krivoy Rog PR Director Yarina Klyuchkovskaya announced that she was leaving her position and explained that the reason for the dismissal was the corporation's cooperation with Russia. She wrote about it on her Facebook page..

She clarified that this is not about the Ukrainian enterprise of the corporation, located in Krivoy Rog, but about the enterprise of the corporation in Temirtau (Kazakhstan).

“I don’t regret it, because I made the decision in good conscience, based on my values. There are things that are categorically unacceptable for me. And when I read in the news that the Kazakh plant of the ArcelorMittal corporation resumed sales of steel to Russia, the decision came very quickly,"

As follows from the message, we are talking about an enterprise in Temirtau. The company employs 35 thousand workers.

" Yes, I understand that the sale of steel to Russia does not formally violate existing sanctions. But no, I can't. I can’t find motivation to work in a corporation that makes such decisions without taking into account the opinions of the team in Ukraine, because I don’t know a single employee of a Ukrainian enterprise who would support this decision.

I have seen indignant comments on social networks from colleagues who have recently seen the glow of fighting from their balconies, I have heard many angry words from colleagues whose children wake up from sirens and are afraid to die. I can't be the voice or the face of this decision. I cannot distribute a statement that ends with the sacramental “we are deeply concerned about the events in the Ukraine,” Klyuchkovskaya emphasized..

Klochkovskaya held the position of PR director of ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih for almost 16 months.
