On January 25, 2022, Argus Logistics LLC announced the evacuation of its non-essential personnel in Ukraine. We continued to operate in Ukraine with limited, essential-only staffing. We were also closely monitoring the situation between Russia and Ukraine to assess whether or not conditions were safe for our remaining personnel in the country.
On February 12, 2022, the U.S. Department of State ordered the departure of most American employees from the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv due to the continued threat of Russian military action. U.S. citizens were advised not to travel to Ukraine, and those in Ukraine were ordered to depart immediately. Similar actions were taken by other embassies and foreign missions in Ukraine.
After detailed review of all publicly available information, including warnings that the U.S. government will not be able to evacuate U.S. citizens in the event of Russian invasion and that large-scale, deadly military actions and civil unrest may commence at any time and without any warning, we decided to suspend indefinitely all our operations in Ukraine. This decision is effective immediately.
We have successfully developed and operated our dispatch business in Ukraine for five years. We understand the inconvenience and pain this decision will cause to our U.S. customers who rely on our Ukrainian dispatchers to manage their freight operations and cargo deliveries.
