Long-term support for Ukraine’s defense capability and EU access guarantees sustainable long-term business planning.

“The issue of security guarantees and long-term support for Ukraine’s defense capability is crucial for business in terms of capabilities and long-term planning. And, of course, all these security guarantees should be in place until Ukraine becomes a NATO member. The second critical issue, which is also a kind of business guarantee, is the process of Ukraine’s accession to the EU,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.

“Post-war reconstruction must be based on the EU accession process with the necessary resources. For other countries that have gone through the accession process, it has been the time when they have attracted the most investment. We know it is much more difficult for Ukraine because we are still at war. That is why we need to find a model for how to invest in a country that is open to investment despite the war and needs to attract foreign companies more actively, especially to ensure sustainable recovery,” the Deputy Prime Minister stressed.
