From missile strikes to employee safety, Cargill, other MN companies, scramble in Ukraine

Minnesota's multinational businesses with interests in Ukraine and Russia scrambled Thursday to connect with their people on the ground as war broke out.

The threat of violence loomed over the region for weeks, but the scope and speed of the attack took many by surprise, forcing U.S. companies - including Medtronic, Ecolab and Cargill - to make fast decisions as the situation quickly deteriorated.

"Right now, our priority is the safety of our people in the region. This is a rapidly evolving situation with a great deal of uncertainty," said April Nelson, a Cargill spokeswoman, in an e-mail. "We are currently gathering information and assessing potential impacts to Cargill and our customers."
