Ukrainian ambassador urges Romanian firms to invest in Ukraine amid reconstruction plans
Ukrainian ambassador to Romania, Ihor Prokopchuk, met with Brașov vice‑mayor Dan Ghiță and urged Romanian companies to enter the Ukrainian market now, before the conflict ends. He argued that early participation would give firms a first‑mover advantage in the upcoming reconstruction projects, allowing them to secure contracts and partnerships ahead of competitors who wait for post‑conflict stability. Prokopchuk noted that Ukrainian firms are already expanding into Romania and encouraged a reciprocal move. The invitation acknowledges heightened logistical and insurance risks due to ongoing hostilities, especially attacks on Ukrainian port infrastructure along the Danube, which increase transport costs and operational uncertainty.
