Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski delivered an emotional speech yesterday afternoon in front of the Congress of Deputies. In his intervention, the Ukrainian did not miss his gratitude to the many Spanish companies that have withdrawn their activity and severed their ties with Russia after the invasion. But he has also wanted to point out others that still maintain ties with Russia despite international sanctions. Specifically, he cited one of the most prestigious Spanish ceramic brands, Porcelanosa, and the group of explosives and chemicals for mining Maxam.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And of course, those claims have caused quite a stir, with companies pointing fingers at each other and defending themselves against the accusations.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Speech<\/strong>. “I want to address the companies, for example, Maxam, Porcelanosa and other companies that I request and ask to stop doing business with Russia”: these were exactly the words of Zelenski during his speech before the Spanish parliament, in which he also recalled the atrocities and abuses committed by Russian troops. In his list I also include a third, Sercobe, although in this case it is not a company but the National Association of Capital Goods Manufacturers that has an office in the country of Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Porcelanosa denies it. <\/strong>The Villareal-based group has been quick to defend itself and deny the accusations. “Since the conflict began, no new sales procedure has been initiated, blocking all commercial transactions with Russia,” they explained within hours on their Twitter account<\/a>. In addition, they stressed that Porcelanosa has carried out actions aimed at helping the Ukrainian people, in defense of their human rights. And that have made humanitarian aid shipments<\/a>which included medical supplies, clothing and food.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Porcelanosa has elaborated on various data: “Since the conflict began, on February 24, Porcelanosa made the decision to paralyze any economic activity in Russia, where there is no distribution network of its own, as is the case in Spain, the USA, Italy or France, among others. The only commercial action that has taken place there responds to the minimum of the contracts established with multi-brand distributors before the war. The Russian market in March represented only 0.009% of the company’s sales, which only computed at 197,000 euros”.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1\/3 From PORCELANOSA, we want to state that since the conflict began, no new sales process has been started, blocking ALL commercial transactions with Russia.<\/p>\n\n
