Sixteen executives including from Ukraine's creditors TCW Funds and Lazard Asset Management as well as multinational firms such as Siemens AG traveled to Kyiv days before the contentious meeting between US President Donald Trump and Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky on Feb 28, to discuss reconstruction of the war-torn country with local officials, Bloomberg reported.
Ukraine's First Deputy Economy Minister Oleksiy Sobolev, who met with the investors in Kyiv, said the discussion focused on boosting foreign direct investment, reconstruction efforts, anti-corruption measures, and legislative reforms aimed at strengthening ties with the European Union.
