As a result of an enemy attack, the Kusum pharmaceutical plant in Sumy was destroyed, and one employee was killed.
“This morning, the production facility of the Kusum pharmaceutical company in Sumy was destroyed as a result of an enemy attack. Unfortunately, the attack claimed the life of company employee Yevgeny Vladimirovich Miroshnichenko, who had worked in the plant’s engineering department since 2009. ‘Kusum’ extends its sincere condolences to his family and loved ones,” the company stated on its website.
The company reports that ‘Kusum’ continues to operate.
” In addition to its production facilities in Ukraine, the company has manufacturing sites in India—in Indore and Bhiwadi. “This will allow us, in the absence of artificial regulatory barriers, to restructure our processes and work to ensure uninterrupted supplies of medicines to Ukraine,” the pharmaceutical company stated.
The Kusum Charitable Trust (India, part of the Kusum Group) donated 20 tonnes of medicines to Ukraine as humanitarian aid.
The Kusum group told Interfax-Ukraine that humanitarian aid will be sent to help the wounded and injured as a result of the war on the territory of Ukraine.
The list of drugs also included the necessary antibiotics for antipyretics.
“The first part of the aid, which is more than 20 tonnes of vital medicines for a total amount of more than UAH 6 million, was delivered by an Indian Air Force aircraft to a safe area and is on its way to Ukraine,” the Kusum group said.
“Kusum recognizes and appreciates the efforts of the Ukrainian Embassy in India, the Indian Foreign Ministry and the Indian Air Force for their support in delivering this humanitarian aid on time and with the utmost care,” the group said.
The Kusum group of pharmaceutical companies includes four modern plants: three in India and one in Ukraine, as well as two own research centers.
