Russian forces continue to wage war across Ukraine, but Volodymyr Zelensky's government is already looking ahead to the task of rebuilding. The European Commission and World Bank predict that this could come with a price tag of some $400 billion. Oleksandr Gryban, Ukraine’s Deputy Economy Minister admits that attracting investors is “a tough sell” as the fighting drags on, but says Ukraine could be “the next big thing for capital and investment markets, this fact is inevitable."
"Therefore we track very big interest for Ukraine. We’re also trying to relaunch Ukraine on the track of new industrialization, because the war is also providing a number of opportunities and we can actually rebuild the country in a much better way.”
