The war situation is fast evolving as of the writing of this report, but we know IBMers around the world remain unified in our hope that peace can be quickly restored. We commend world leaders who have acted decisively in hopes of expediting an end to this war. IBM does not condone violence or acts of aggression, and we firmly condemn the Russian war in Ukraine. Thanks to the continued generosity of IBMers around the world, we have now raised over $1.85 million ($925,000 in IBMer donations, plus a $925,000 company match) for the International Committee of the Red Cross.
