On Friday, March 10, 2023, a round table was held in Brussels on the topic: “Consequences of the war for private business and the economy of Ukraine – results of 2022, challenges of 2023”. European politicians, experts, and business representatives participated in the event, as well as the Brussels Justice for Ukraine Foundation, which presented a study on the current situation in the country and future challenges.
The representative of the Brussels “Justice for Ukraine Foundation” Volodymyr Lincautan, opened the event and presented the research. He emphasized the need for comprehensive assistance from the European community to Ukraine, in particular, in the legal sphere:
“Justice and human rights accountability are central pillars of the European Union’s policy on Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. We must do everything to ensure that the European understanding of the concept of justice is implemented in Ukraine in the broadest and most meaningful sense.”
In the text of the study of the Brussels Justice for Ukraine Foundation, much attention is paid to the analysis of key challenges for the economy of Ukraine in 2023, as well as to the model of relations between the state and business, under which the post-war revival of the Ukrainian economy will take place. The full text of the study can be found on the fund’s website at the link “Economy and private business of Ukraine during the war.pdf”
