Xiaomi protested to Kiev, which declared a company a "sponsor of war"

The Chinese corporation Xiaomi has expressed a strong protest to the government of Ukraine after it included it in the list of "international sponsors of the war," according to a published statement.

"We are strongly opposed to the fact that the National Agency of Ukraine for the Prevention of Corruption (NAPC) included our corporation in the list of "international sponsors of war", - the company said in a statement.

Xiaomi provides services to consumers in more than a hundred countries and regions of the world, strictly adhering to the legal rules where it carries out commercial activities. The Chinese company stands for peace and cannot be considered a supporter of wars. 

The Chinese IT giant is not the first in the "black" list of the Ukrainian authorities. Earlier, the NAPC also added French companies Auchan, Leroy Merlin, Bonduelle, American Procter & Gamble and other global manufacturers.
