Encouraging growth to Ukraine from foreign investors. Is vital. Ukraine has vast opportunities for foreign growth, from those who can see the future of Ukraine.
I am glad that this podcast is continuing. Anastasia and Francis were (are) great podcasters. I am sure you will be great too. Congratulation to Anastasia for her baby🤩
Ukrainian business is cash based. It is crazy. Businessmen want suitcases of cash for transactions. This makes moving money to Ukraine for investment difficult. You can only draw out small amounts in cash.
Providing some of the drone industry is subsidised by Ukraine government and Ukraine can get USA to help in super production in this area there's a gap in the drone market in the west made by the supplies for drones for Ukraine. And maybe some of the profits could go to the drone companies that helped Ukraine. This is one area Ukraine has made for themselves.
Zelensky and his circle of advisors have been skillful and successful in communicating with people inside Ukraine as well as outside the country. I am hopeful that they will be equally smart with plans to move Ukraine forward in future. It is worrisome to recently read that the American convicted felon, Paul Manafort, is once again working in some advisory capacity. I’m not sure where his allegiance lies- he was instrumental in the election of Yanukovych, the pro Russian former president.
I have found that the investment in western regions is mostly from eastern businessmen relocating. The construction of apartments is not stopping in the Western regions.
Don't worry about foreign investors. Look at the previous model. Many countries in Central America were just as foolish as Ukraine, they too sponsored a US/Russia proxy war within their borders. After the war, foreign investors, especially from the US, rushed in to scoop up assets for pennies on the dollar. The same will happen in Ukraine. Vulture investors, such as BlackRock, will fly in like a swarm of locusts to eat up everything is sight. Also, the World Bank, the IMF, and others, will arrive to lend tens of billions turning Ukraine into perpetual debt slaves as they have so many Latin American countries. It's not going to be a win win for foreign investors and Ukraine. For, as prior historical examples demonstrate, only foreign investors will win and not Ukraine.
Gee-whiz. I wonder what happened to France, Belgium, Netherlands, UK, even Germany and Japan and others after The Second World War? They must be sh-t-holes of poverty, doing much worse than Siberia, Buryatia, Mordovia, Chechnya, and a dozen other places living under the loving embrace and totalitarian love of the great dictator and warm guns. And what about North Korea, Cuba and a bunch of Latin American states who chose to side with the Kremlin? They must be doing so good that they have their own SuperRich G7. Even little old Canada's got more GDP than russia.

The ghost of corruption in Ukraine is a made up concept by Russia and Hungary and their supporters, which you and persons like yourself have listened to, are the people you are listening to cleaner than squeaky clean? No they are corrupt. However to face people's fears like yourself Ukraine made a anti corruption bureau many years ago just to appease Europe. Europe isn't squeaky clean either. How clean do you want a country?

This podcast is fantastic, and the guest is truly captivating! Keep up the great work - looking forward to more episodes!
Thank you!
I am interested in the tech industry in Kyiv. I would be interested in real estate but learned that Ukrainian laws are very prohibitive in that area.
Any homes or building's in Odessa for sale? I grewup in Trump Village in little Odessa. Nice investment!

Economic growth must be gained with care. Great to hear products are reaching other outsources.

Ukrainians are desperate, in an existential way. They do not have the luxury of choosing which investors fit their most preferred growth model.

Ghost of "corruption" still haunts the image Ukraine in the West: It's getting much better but it's still there.
The ghost of corruption in Ukraine is a made up concept by Russia and Hungary and their supporters, which you and persons like yourself have listened to, are the people you are listening to cleaner than squeaky clean?

NO!
