(ANSA) - UDINE, JUN 21 - "The activities of the Danieli Group
do not even contemplate the direct production of war material,
and the contracts we enter into never provide for the
involvement in customers' production choices." Danieli Group
wrote in a statement issued today after yesterday the Ukrainian
Defense Ministry on its official Twitter account had criticized
the Friuli-based and Italian giant company, claiming that it
"still collaborates with Russian plants, supplying equipment to
produce nuclear submarines and tank armor."
The group underlines that it has "put in place all measures
necessary to bring its activities into line with the measures
adopted by Italy and the European Union' following the
war. "These measures - the statement reads - have been
applied without delay to persons, entities, and companies
subject to the sanctions'.
In addition, "the company is committed to the humanitarian
crisis and provides concrete help to the population involved in
the War in Ukraine. The employees working in the Danieli Group's
technical office in Dnipro, currently closed, have been brought
to safety, along with their families. Furthermore, the company
has arranged transportation and accommodation for about 100
people at the Danieli Campus in Friuli Venezia Giulia."
Finally, the company "to protect the corporate image
and any shareholder interests, therefore, warn against the
