Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a panel meeting in Davos with international investors, business representatives, and financial institutions, discussing Ukraine's post-war recovery, strengthening energy security, and attracting investments under reliable security guarantees. The guarantor announced this on Telegram, writes UNN.
Thank you for your attention to Ukraine and your support. This is especially important now – when such Russian strikes want to destroy both people and cities with cold. Everything must now work for Ukraine's resilience and the strength of our people in Ukraine. We must be realists and implement concrete things that people can feel now. We will work fruitfully with everyone who is with Ukraine
According to the website of the President of Ukraine, one of the main topics of discussion was ways to help overcome challenges in the energy sector caused by Russian shelling. The meeting also discussed increasing investments in projects in Ukraine after achieving a dignified peace. Zelenskyy is convinced that this will be possible as soon as Ukraine receives reliable security guarantees.
Regarding security guarantees for our people: this is very important. But it is also for investments and for business. It is for everyone. And it is good. And now we are at a point where we understand, Europeans understand, and Americans understand that all of us need security guarantees, first of all from America, and then from Europe. I hope that we will be able to complete the reconstruction package, the prosperity package, on which our teams are currently working
In addition, the work of businesses in Ukraine during the full-scale war was discussed. The Head of State noted that despite the war, domestic business is working and developing, and most importantly, it is implementing modern technologies and innovations.
