Ukraine needs to ‘take the frog out of the pot’, and fast

I regularly take part in international conferences on Ukraine’s recovery. They have different formats and address different aspects, but the questions are common: when and how to start preparing for investment; which industries will be most attractive; what are the prospects as well as the risks of investing in Ukraine; and how to protect oneself.

However, amidst those questions, one important observation is increasingly emerging: Investors are tired of waiting for the war to end.  

Most of us believed that such a war in Europe, right on the border with Poland, the European Union and NATO, could not last long, that something like a ‘black swan’ had happened.
