This week, automakers continued to react to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last month. Both Lamborghini and Ferrari have made statements about the ongoing violence, announcing changes to their corporate operations as well as donations to charity that aid Ukrainians.
On Twitter, Lamborghini said that it is arranging an undetermined donation to UN Refugee Aid, which has been working in Ukraine since 2014. The supercar company also announced that it would halt its business dealings with Russia. Lamborghini is owned by the Volkswagen Group, which also owns Porsche, and the two companies have donated €1 million ($1.1 million at today’s currency rate) to UN Refugee Aid.
