They want to do the same to Ukraine’s economy.” He added that 400 companies from 38 countries have expressed their support and participation in this initiative, which is fastest way to revive Ukraine.
In addition, “We must bring to bear a partnership of governments, international financial institutions and business leaders, all of us here today, to make this happen.
