Ukraine’s Zelenskiy announces second pro-business body

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced on Friday the creation of a second body to assist businesses in wartime after several entrepreneurs voiced outrage at the arrest of a prominent banker.
Zelenskiy, speaking in his nightly video address, said the All-Ukraine Economic Platform would help businesses overcome the challenges posed by Russia’s nearly two-year-old invasion.
Earlier this week, Zelenskiy announced the formation of a Council for the Support of Entrepreneurship, which he said sought to strengthen the economy and clarify issues relating to law enforcement agencies.
Decrees creating both bodies were published on Friday.
In his latest remarks, Zelenskiy said the platform would be a “new communication mechanism with entrepreneurs” and would encompass the “entire business community”.
