On October 5, 2026, Russian military forces destroyed the plant of the pharmaceutical company 'KUSUM' in Sumy. As a result of the attack, one employee of the company lost their life.
Assessment of Damage and Continuation of Operations
The company 'KUSUM' is currently assessing the extent of the damage inflicted on its facilities. Despite this, it continues to work on ensuring uninterrupted supplies of medical products to the Ukrainian market. This is crucial as, in wartime conditions, a shortage of medicines can significantly impact the health of the population.
Company's Production Capacities
In addition to its production in Ukraine, 'KUSUM' has manufacturing facilities in other countries, which allows it to maintain operational activity. Specifically, the company operates in:
- India — in the cities of Indore and Bhiwadi;
- Indonesia.
These facilities can be utilized to restore the supply of pharmaceuticals to Ukraine, provided that no artificial regulatory barriers arise.
