Dear friends and partners,
As we approach the New Year festivities, it is customary to reflect on the past year. The year 2024 has continued to shape us, just as the previous years of full-scale war have done, forcing us to adapt to new challenges and strengthening our resolve and desire for Victory.
For our group of companies, and for me personally, this year has been governed by the motto of ACTION—acting in defiance of all obstacles. Our business, much of which operates on the front lines, has never ceased production despite ongoing shelling, and it has continued to nourish the country.
We have not been deterred by the concept of "timelessness," and we have continued to invest in business development, the introduction of advanced technologies, and enhancing energy independence.
Caring for the future, we have not stepped away from publishing and have continued to release world bestsellers in the Ukrainian language, even taking initial steps towards opening libraries. Alongside our partners, we organized the country’s main food platform, New Food Summit 2024, for the second time and significantly developed NEWFOOD MEDIA. We have persistently continued to donate and provide support. I remain present where needed, despite the losses, which at times are simply horrific.
Soon, we will turn the calendar and take a new step into the year 2025. May it bring the long-awaited peace to our country and grant every Ukrainian faith, stability, and prosperity!
I sincerely believe in Ukraine and our people!
Happy upcoming New Year 2025!
With respect and hope,
Boris Shestopalov
