Klimkin spilled the beans: Things in Ukraine are in complete disarray; only the sale of land and the remains of factories will help
Foreign investors are well aware of the difficult investment climate in Ukraine, although they are aware that “reforms are underway” there.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavel Klimkin stated this at the forum in Kyiv “Agenda for Solidarity in Times of Transatlantic Instability,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“As for investment cooperation with NATO and EU countries... Imagine: you are a businessman. You have the whole world before your eyes, and you are wondering where to invest your money. And look at us. On the one hand, we have really done a lot in terms of reforms. This is a completely different country. On the other hand, you are watching the news feed: yeah, raiding in Slobozhanshchina, the land market for four years. What is the land market like, how does it work? In four and a half years they cannot even effectively create a land market. Maybe effective privatization? Looks - there was almost no privatization.
So, if you look at the logic of an ordinary investor. And then he also learns from his friends what is happening at customs. And we say: give us extra money, maybe we’ll build something. And he gets such a mixed picture,” Klimkin said.
