The announcement comes after several high-profile Ukrainian businessmen were arrested in recent weeks, some on decade-old corruption cases. The arrests have led to public speculation that the government ahs become hostile to private enterprises, undermining Ukraine’s economic recovery chances.
On Jan. 22, Zelenskyy reported that government officials had met with representatives of Ukrainian businesses. He requested proposals to “remove difficulties” between the government, business community, and law enforcement that had intensified after the arrest of Ihor Mazepa and searches at his investment company, Concorde Capital.
