WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The head of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce joined a chorus of outrage against Moscow’s operation to “demilitarize” its neighbor on Thursday, calling Russia’s invasion of Ukraine a “serious breach” of international law and a “violation” of the nation’s sovereignty.
“The business community will continue to support the Administration, Congress, and our allies to ensure a swift and meaningful response to Russia’s aggression,” said U.S. Chamber’s CEO Suzanne Clark in a statement, adding that the move was “an affront to our steadfast belief in a world where democratic countries, following the rule of law and the free enterprise system, can be free and prosper.”
