LendInvest supports Homes for Ukraine Scheme
LendInvest condemns the illegal and devastating invasion of Ukraine by Russia and fully supports the Government Homes for Ukraine Scheme.
We have all watched the terrible events unfolding in Ukraine over the past few weeks. Our thoughts are with those affected by the invasion and the great losses endured by the Ukrainian people.
Following the introduction of new sanctions against Russia, we can confirm to the best of our knowledge that we have no business activities, facilities, customers or counterparties in Russia.
