Don’t Expect Solidarity for Ukraine from Lexmark, Ninestar and Rtmworld.com Anytime Soon.

All OEM toner and print providers in the west have shown support for Ukraine, except for Lexmark.
This is another reason not to buy any Chinese toner.

Tonernews.com personally reached out to Xerox last week, got a reply, and they then released their Ukraine solidarity press release the very next day to us first, and that’s why we got that article before anyone else in the world. We have also reached out to Lexmark the very same way and personally to David Gibbons of Rtmworld.com/ to do the same, but to date no comment or reply has ever been given. It’s been three weeks since the attempted invasion of Ukraine started, and most businesses in the west and the world have shown great support for Ukraine. You would think it’s a no brainer to help a struggling country vs. the aggressions of a single madman hiding in some far away location, but it’s not.

Now that the Chinese Gov. has announced their help and cooperation with Russia in the war, the pendulum has again Shifted to more uncertain times. Businesses in the EU, US and other locations aound the world that are state owned by the Chinese Government, have decided to not show any support for Ukraine and have for the most part sadly stayed silent. We totally understand their aspirations for wanting to speak up and speak loud in support of Ukraine but losing one’s job or creating discomfort with the Chinese government in too powerful of a dilemma too ignore. (kiss asses)

Right now, a Russian woman TV news reporter named Marina Ovsyannikova is more courageous than anyone at Lexmark, Ninestar or Rtworld. She is standing up and is speaking her truth about the war (photo below). If only such courage can serve as an example for many in oppressed ‘free speech’ industries around globe, it just might be a game changer for their businesses. Therefor we say, speak up and live for something that is close to your heart that is right, fair, and is definitely on the right side of history. We implore all businesses in our toner industry to send us your press releases in support of Ukraine and we will publish it and get it out to the industry.

We live in fear of silence because it is filled
with the echoes of all things we left unsaid.
