The Russia’s invasion has triggered a massive humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. More than 7 million Ukrainians became International displaced persons, thousands were killed, wounded, and deprived of means for living. With upcoming winter frost and massive attacks on the energy system, the Russian terror methods against civilians threat even more Ukrainian lives.

Ukraine is an agricultural powerhouse with a key role in feeding the world. Prior to the full-fledged invasion, the country accounted for 10% of the global grain trade and ranked as the 4th largest exporter in the world, ahead of all 27 member states of the EU; exported over 50% of global sunflower supply, ranked 3rd globally in export of corn, rapeseed and barley, and provided the United Nation’s World Food Program with circa 40% of its wheat destined for countries experiencing severe food shortages.

Distinguished leaders and investors, together with Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Rostyslav Shurma and Chairman of the State Property Fund Rustem Umerov, speak about investment opportunities for those brave enough to look past the headlines today, as well as those making plans for when peace returns to Ukraine.

Armed conflict in Ukraine has been going on since 2014, and since 2022, it has turned into a full-scale invasion of the country. The military war is accompanied by a strong information war. The aggressor’s hybrid approach in Ukraine and beyond demands a strong answer not only in terms of military defense and support.
