We highly appreciate UFG’s initiatives and practical steps aimed at consolidating the industrialists and entrepreneurs at the early stage of economic reform and its active participation in the Ukrainian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs and All-Ukrainian Union of Entrepreneurs, as well as the company’s efforts to establish a co-operation with the business community in Russia and other CIS countries.

Entrepreneurs in Russia and Ukraine have a broad sphere of common interests and activities, based on the historical commonness and economic links and significant level of co-operation in many industries. I am convinced that our strategic economic and trading partnership will permanently continue.
