Air Liquide (Paris:AI):
Following recent decisions of the DNR - self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic - establishing its administrative control over some Ukrainian companies (including Air Liquide Yenakievo) operating in the Donbass region, Air Liquide is no longer able to continue its remaining activities in that region.
The security of our employees as well as compliance with applicable Ukrainian and international laws remain our priorities.
Air Liquide in Ukraine

Liquide has been present in Ukraine since 1992 through its Engineering
and Construction activity. In 2011, Air Liquide started the production
and selling of industrial gases. In the Donbass, Air Liquide owns an
oxygen production unit dedicated to supply one steel customer. This
activity is not significant given the size of the Group’s activities in
Europe.
