“Despite the crisis, Ukraine remains attractive for investment. An example of this is the half-billion hryvnia investments of Diligent Capital Partners and FMO in Edinstvo Group. Companies believe in the long-term success of Ukraine in the global market, and we undoubtedly share this value. Therefore, we were happy to share our experience, knowledge and expertise to promote such a significant transaction,” said Anastasia Magonova, founder of Magonova & Partners.
