Ukraine invasion: AmCham EU commends unity from EU, US and partners
The American Chamber of Commerce to the EU (AmCham EU) continues to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in the strongest possible terms. As we emphasised over a week ago, we stand with the people of Ukraine as they face incredible suffering and violence.
We cannot and should not remain silent in the face of the senseless loss of human lives. Russia’s actions are threatening the fundamental values upon which our societies are based.
Business is an integral part of society and, as such, has an important role to play in difficult times. Many companies – beyond our membership only – are taking action to support the Ukrainian people and facilitate humanitarian aid. We urge the private sector to continue to step up and engage. Fellow American Chambers of Commerce across Europe and Eurasia, our sister organisations, are also doing their utmost to channel aid and support refugees, in particular in neighbouring countries.
We commend the EU, the US and many other partners for their swift reactions. The severity of the situation continues to require unity and solidarity across the Atlantic and with the international community.
We fully support the call from the International Committee of the Red Cross to uphold humanitarian law and protect civilians. All ongoing efforts to avoid further escalation and safeguard peace are critical.

Strengthening connectivity through the Digital Networks Act
The Digital Networks Act (DNA) can help the EU build a more coherent connectivity framework for businesses operating across borders. Today, fragmented rules and complex compliance obligations continue to hold back innovation and Europe’s competitiveness.
To this end, the DNA must reduce – not add to – regulatory complexity, ensure legal certainty and avoid duplication with existing EU legislation. It should support investment in next-generation networks while avoiding duplication with existing EU frameworks. Clear scope will be essential to prevent unintended overlap with cloud, content delivery networks or private networks.
Read more on how the DNA can support Europe’s digital transition and long-term competitiveness.
