We are talking about the Mondelez factory in Trostyanets, Sumy region. In particular, it produces Milka and Korona chocolates, Barney biscuits and Oreo cookies.
Sibiga called the plant “one of the first major American investment projects” in the independent economy of Ukraine.
According to him, a Russian missile hit one of the production buildings. There were no casualties.
Sibiga emphasized that this is not a military facility, but a plant that has been operating since the 1990s, which produces world-famous brands, employs Ukrainians and contributes to the Ukrainian and American economies.
“When Russian missiles hit such objects, they are aimed not only at Ukraine. They are aimed at American business interests in Europe,” the minister noted.
He pointed out that Moscow cannot talk about economic dialogue with the United States while simultaneously attacking US-owned production facilities.
“Targeting civilian industry is not war, it is deliberate economic terror. There must be accountability for this,” he added.
Today, Russia is building another American business in Ukraine—a civil production facility of Mondelez in Trostianets—one of the first major US investments in Ukraine's independent economy.
