Foreign companies are ready to invest in Ukraine’s devastated economy, but first need security guarantees from Kyiv, said the country’s First Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko.
Ukraine has enough projects for potential investors, from reconstruction to the expansion of its defense industry, which Svyrydenko said grew sixfold last year. The country is also touting its deposits of raw materials, such as uranium, which could reduce the European Union’s dependence on China and Russia.
