Inside Ukraine’s Business Struggles, Reforms, and the Quiet Fight for the Future

In this week’s episode, Kyiv Post’s Off the Record podcast goes deep with Ukraine’s Business Ombudsman Roman Waschuk, a former ambassador and long-time reform advocate. From grassroots tax disputes to international investment deals, he shares what’s really happening behind the scenes in Ukraine’s business landscape – and why reform is about more than just rooting out corruption. You’ll hear: — How Ukraine’s reform efforts are working (or not) on the ground — The surprising role of entrepreneurs in rebuilding the country — How foreign investors are navigating war, bureaucracy, and opportunity — What hopeful signs are emerging – and what still holds Ukraine back “No one’s coming to save us. The question is: are we ready to save ourselves?” A candid, layered, and surprisingly hopeful conversation about Ukraine’s transformation in real time.
