[members-discuss] LIR invoices for Ukrainian companies

Dear Max, all,

We will ensure we do not close any members who are unable to pay due to 
the war.

We have received quite a few requests from members in Ukraine asking 
that we send them an invoice. So we plan to do this but also make clear 
that we will not close them for nonpayment while this war is ongoing.

We are closely following the discussions here and elsewhere on this 
topic. Please know that keeping our members operational under these 
circumstances is our main focus at the moment and our administrative 
requirements should not concern them during these difficult times.

We also gave this assurance to the Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine in our 
response to his correspondence with us:

Best regards,
