Please help me reactivate my LinkedIn profile which LinkedIn suspended because of my anti-RussianWar posts and comments. I work for an American-Ukrainian company. Was that a factor in LinkedIn's decision???

February 24th, 2022 hugely affected me personally and professionally.

On that day, as we know, Russia invaded Ukraine and began its brutal, cruel and barbaric destruction of a peaceful country, killing thousands of civilians and destroying homes, hospitals, schools... not to mention thousands of lives of innocent Ukrainians.

I work for a company of Ukrainian origin with hundreds of employees in Ukraine. Our offices are in Kharkiv, Kyiv, Lviv... My colleagues had to hide in basements and run for their lives. Many have left Ukraine, moving temporarily to other countries in Europe.

This barbaric destruction of my colleagues' towns, the daily killings of children, their mothers and fathers, civilians simply going about their daily lives by ruthless Russian military personnel affected me A LOT.

I couldn't simply sit by and watch this happen.

I got involved - actively helping to buy and ship items most needed by Ukrainian defenders. 

I also actively posted a LOT of messages against Russian invasion of Ukraine and AGAINST DOING BUSINESS WITH RUSSIA.

I did compare Russia to a Nazi state which I still think is a valid comparison.

I am firmly against Russian Federation's leadership and Putin's barbaric war against a peaceful country. I am against doing business with Russian Federation.

Unfortunately LinkedIn considered my comments "hate speech" and suspended my profile once.

Then later suspended it again, this time "for ever" - telling me that I had violated LinkedIn's rules of conduct.

I had never called for harm to any ethnic group or nationality. I only called for boycotting Russia in business and international cooperation.

Yes, some of my comments may have been emotional but never "hate speech".

Did LinkedIn suspend my account because of complaints from Russian sources? I'd like to think not but... 

Please help me reactivate my LinkedIn profile - and support my appeal.

Let's ask LinkedIn to REACTIVATE Greg's profile.

Thank you.
