On February 16, Arctida was designated an “undesirable organization” in Russia. This means that we are prohibited from operating in Russia, and violations are subject to administrative and criminal penalties. We disagree with this designation and do not consider our activities to be “undesirable.” Nevertheless, we are completely discontinuing all projects and programs in Russia, as well as cooperation with people and organizations located or registered in Russia, so as not to put them at risk.
