It’s not bad news for everyone…
Uranium Energy Corp expects the crisis in Ukraine to be beneficial to them, stating “we believe utility fuel managers around the globe are moving towards increasing jurisdictional stability in their supply strategies”. Uranium Energy Corp’s facilities are in Texas and therefore offer “jurisdictional stability”.
EPAM SYSTEMS INC (EPAM)
“EPAM has approximately 14,000 personnel in Ukraine (including approximately 13,000 delivery personnel) in addition to personnel in Russia and Belarus. EPAM is actively monitoring the security of our people and the stability of our infrastructure, including communications and internet availability. EPAM is executing its business continuity plan, adapting to developments in real time to protect the safety of our people and handling potential impacts to our delivery infrastructure, including reallocating work to other geographies within our global footprint.”
