This weekend, executives from 12 major US companies arrive in Kyiv for what is billed as the first Ukraine trade and investment conference certified by the US Department of Commerce. After a welcoming speech by Prime Minister Groysman on Monday morning, they have two days of business-to-business meetings. In advance, Stepan Kubiv, Economic Development and Trade Minister, met Wednesday with US officials in Washington and then wrote on Facebook: “I want to draw American business attention to the large privatizations which are just starting under the new rules. We offer private investors energy companies, as well as large infrastructure and industrial companies.”
