The country is backed by the global community of Western economies led by the United States and the European Union. Supporting the military capacities is of course key – the economic integration and wealth and prosperity in Ukraine is a critical success factor for sustaining the society as strong as it has proven to be.

Overall, there are many opportunities for internationally experienced companies not just from the group of large corporations but particularly from the more flexible middle-market. Collaborations and Joint Ventures between companies from different parts of the world into Ukraine will be a key approach to share and divide the natural risk coming with an engagement in Ukraine.
