PRESS RELEASE
Golčův Jeníkov, 1st July 2025
Subject: Statement regarding disinformation from Russian media
Vanad 2000 a.s., Company ID: 259 47 575, with registered office at Riegrova 824, 582 82, Golčův Jeníkov (hereinafter referred to as "Vanad 2000 a.s."), Hereby strongly refutes the false and misleading information that has recently been published in the media, which groundlessly links the company
to alleged deliveries to the Russian Federation.
Since 2022, Vanad 2000 a.s. has not delivered, either directly or through third countries, any machines to the Russian Federation and does not do so. The company is willing to provide all export documentation to the relevant authorities for inspection.
These untrue and unverified claims were initially
spread by the Russian website The Insider, and Czech media outlets
subsequently repeated and disseminated them across the media spectrum without
any verification or prior contact with the company’s management. No editorial
office, except Blesk, reached out to Vanad 2000 a.s. beforehand for a
statement. Vanad 2000 a.s. considers this approach to be extremely
unprofessional, unethical, and severely damaging.
Vanad 2000 a.s. has always strictly complied with all applicable international
and national legal regulations, including rules governing the export of goods
and technologies. Since 2022, in compliance with the European Union sanctions
against the Russian Federation, Vanad 2000 a.s. has implemented internal
control mechanisms, as the company condemns Russian aggression and
propaganda and would never support an aggressive war by engaging in trade with
the Russian Federation.
The company’s good name is being seriously damaged by these false accusations,
which negatively affect not only its reputation but also its business relations
both domestically and abroad.
Vanad 2000 a.s. calls on Czech media to act responsibly, to verify information,
and to respect journalistic ethics, which have been violated in this case. The
company is prepared to defend its good name and reputation by all available
legal means against all parties involved in spreading this disinformation.
On behalf of Vanad 2000 a.s.
