Press release: soft Xpansion terminates cooperation with Ascensio System SIA - developer of OnlyOffice software

01 April 2022

The security service of soft Xpansion analyzed the company Ascensio System SIA (developer of the OnlyOffice software product). Despite the registration of Ascensio System SIA in Latvia, the company has Russian roots and has not expressed a specific position condemning Russian aggression against Ukraine.

In addition, soft Xpansion did not receive any response from Ascensio System SIA to an official request for Ascensio System SIA's position on the war in Ukraine.

In view of the above, soft Xpansion has decided to terminate its cooperation with Ascensio System SIA and to exclude the OnlyOffice software product from the list of products offered by soft Xpansion.

As noted in previous statements of the company, soft Xpansion strongly condemns the attack of Russian authorities on the territory of Ukraine and supports Ukraine, helps the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Ukrainians affected by the war with Russia.

Glory to Ukraine!
