UDS and the European Business Association Discuss Cooperation in the Field of Humanitarian Demining

The management of UDS held working negotiations with representatives of the European Business Association (EBA) to strengthen cooperation within the business community in the processes of Ukraine’s safe recovery.

UDS was represented by Acting General Director Oleksandr Romaniuk and Head of the International Cooperation Department Serhii Nerpii.

The EBA delegation included:

▪️ Svitlana Mykhailovska, Deputy Director for Member Company Advocacy

▪️ Viktoriia Kulykova, Head of Committees Department

▪️ Andrii Zakarlyuka, Head of Business Development Department

The parties focused on the role of humanitarian demining as a prerequisite for restoring investment activity, rebuilding infrastructure, and enabling businesses to return to de-occupied territories. The discussion emphasized the need for systematic communication with EBA member companies regarding land clearance opportunities and the implementation of comprehensive demining projects.

Special attention was given to the prospects for joint initiatives aimed at creating a safe environment for business operations and attracting investment.
