As General Sponsor of UBN Network, Piraeus Bank in Ukraine supported its latest live event, War & Business: Final Winter? Escalation, Ceasefire, Reconstruction, held in Kyiv on 11 September.  

The event brought together more than 100 Ukrainian and international business leaders, investors, diplomats and public officials to discuss the key developments shaping Ukraine’s business environment and outlook. 

Discussions covered the geopolitical and macroeconomic landscape, developments on the front line, preparations for the coming winter, energy resilience and the prospects for Ukraine’s reconstruction. 

UBN Network presented its latest assessment of economic developments in Ukraine and Russia and outlined possible scenarios for the months ahead and their implications for businesses operating in Ukraine. Ukrainian military commanders provided perspectives on the evolving security situation, including drone warfare and air defence, while Mykola Kolisnyk, COO of Naftogaz of Ukraine, addressed the resilience of the country’s energy infrastructure and practical preparations for potential disruptions during the winter.  

The business panel focused on how companies continue to operate, adapt and plan under sustained uncertainty. Participants exchanged practical experience on maintaining operational resilience, responding to different challenges across B2B and B2C sectors, and positioning businesses for Ukraine’s future reconstruction.  

For Piraeus Bank in Ukraine, supporting platforms such as UBN Network is an important part of strengthening dialogue within the business community. The exchange of practical experience and perspectives helps companies better assess risks, maintain operational resilience and make informed decisions about their continued development in Ukraine.
