“The war has changed Ukraine’s economic landscape, destroying both ineffective infrastructure and oligarchic dominance. We have to build a modern economy that will help win the war and include Ukraine as a part of a resilient Europe. We joined our efforts to provide a mechanism that will use the best available knowledge to use this chance for modernization of the country.”
