On February 24th, 2022 Russian forces invaded the sovereign state of Ukraine.
The invasion of Ukraine is an unprecedented event in both European and world history and demands a corresponding response. The world's AV industry stands together with our Ukrainian colleagues. We hold a firm belief that our combined efforts can enable the cultural heritage of Ukraine to continue. Together we will create content that can cross borders. Together we will forge new cultural and economic ties to sustain both Ukrainian and global AV industries. Together we will reach new audiences worldwide.
In this regard, content has a matchless power.
