WePlay Esports Cuts Ties With Russian Organizations

Ukrainian esports organization WePlay Esports has announced that they will terminate all contracts with Russian organizations.

The decision was made after Russia decided to invade Ukraine with a military operation on Wednesday morning. Since then, more than a hundred Ukrainian citizens have been reported to have died in Ukraine.

WePlay Esports announced yesterday that they will continue to work remotely to fulfill their legal obligations.

The Ukraine office is working remotely, while the WePlay Esports office in the US is open as usual.

WePlay CEO Oleh Humeniuk made a statement yesterday after the Ukrainian territory was attacked by Russia.

WePlay Esports, a Ukrainian organization, also had to work closely with Russia and brands of Russian origin. Today, as Ukraine continues to come under attack, all these ties have been cut.

WePlay Esports’ Statement

“Due to the war of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine, WePlay Holding has terminated all partnership agreements with companies from Russia.

On February 24, the Russian Federation committed an act of attack against the territorial integrity and independence of Ukraine. Our brave country and people are fighting against Russian military troops the third day along.

In connection with these events, WePlay Holding cannot stand aside and has terminated all types of cooperation with legal entities from the Russian Federation. Starting from now we won’t advertise any brands of Russian origin in our broadcasts and for our audience. 

WePlay Holding fulfills all its obligations to other partner organizations and continues to work remotely to guarantee the safety of its employees.

The entire holding team is grateful for the words of support from the community and also calls for the support of the Ukrainian army. It’s possible via a special fundraising account of the National Bank of Ukraine. To find out more and choose another currency, visit the official website of the National Bank of Ukraine.”
