Xiaomi opposes the decision of the Ukrainian authorities to include it in the list of “international sponsors of the war”, this is stated in statement on the website of a Chinese corporation.

“We strongly oppose the accusation of the Ukrainian National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (NAPC) that we are the “International Sponsor of the War”. We do not support any military action,” the message says.

The corporation said that every person has the right to access the means of communication and information on the Internet, and the company’s mission is to provide everyone in the world “enjoy a better life” through innovative technologies.

The NAPC announced the inclusion of Xiaomi in the list of “international sponsors of the war” on April 14. This decision was justified by the fact that Xiaomi not only continued to work in Russia after the start of the special operation, but “still” remains the leader in smartphone sales in the country. The NAPC also announced an increase in the company’s deliveries to the Russian Federation and the resumption of active recruitment for its Russian offices. This, they believe in Kyiv, directly indicates the sponsorship of Xiaomi “Russian aggression”.
