We must understand that Ukrainian business also needs support. Today, discussions are being held at all levels about the prerequisites that should be to create in order to stimulate investors to invest in Ukraine. And we have certain views and developments. As the Vice-President of the European Commission, Margaritis Schinas, rightly said in his speech, transatlantic relations are, above all, a union of values.
