John Deere is deeply saddened by the significant
escalation of events in Ukraine. The safety, welfare, and
well-being of our employees in the region remain our top priority,
and we continue to support and maintain close communication with
our affected teams, providing necessary resources when possible.
Our thoughts are with our employees, their families as well as our
dealers, customers and all those impacted by this
crisis.
Two weeks ago, we suspended shipments of machines to Russia and then subsequently, Belarus. We continue to monitor the situation closely while we fully abide by U.S. and international sanctions. The John Deere Foundation has additionally been working directly with a number of organisations, including multiple UN agencies, to mobilise resources to support Ukrainians impacted by the crisis. Our mission is, and always has been, to help our customers feed the world.
