Breitbart reports: The owner of the knitwear company, Tatiana Abramova, told CBS News, “Especially in the condition of war, we have to work.”
“We have to pay taxes, we have to pay wage, salary to our employees. We have to work, don’t stop,” she said.
When asked how supporting Ukraine’s economy would help it win the war, Abramova responded, “Because economy is the foundation of everything.”
According to CBS News, the United States Agency for International Development even helped Abramova find customers overseas.
The report said her company supports more than 70 employees and their families.
Abramova told CBS News, “We realize that it’s the aid from government, but it’s the aid from the heart of every ordinary American person.” She said she felt “Grateful. Great.”
