Rebuild Ukraine Weekly 2 ‒ 6 February 2026

2 ‒ 6 February 2026

Dear friends of Ukraine,

despite heavy attacks on Kyiv on the night of 3 February at minus 20 degrees, we had more guests than ever before at our New Year's Reception this week. Over 260 participants attended to listen to the President of the Ukrainian Central Bank, talk to each other and initiate new business deals. The mood among our members was good.

The fact that Ukraine can continue to withstand russia's war of aggression is also due to the companies that the war has spawned. One star among them is the drone swarm company Swarmer. It enables drone swarms to fly autonomously and communicate with each other. After raising a lot of money for further development last year, the company wants to achieve a NASDAQ listing this year. We wish them every success.

We also wish the same for the Finnish company Reka Rubber. The company plans to build a factory in western Ukraine to produce rubber products for the transport equipment and mechanical engineering industries.

We wish you a pleasant weekend.


Kind regards
