A delegation from Ukraine arrived in Taiwan on Sunday, hoping to get help from Taiwanese businesses to rebuild after the Russian invasion.
The delegation was led by Mykola Tkachenko, CEO of Prozoro, the Ukrainian government’s procurement system. Prozoro is Establishment After the ouster of Ukraine’s shockingly corrupt pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych in 2014, it aimed to create a more transparent and open system for government purchases that was less prone to corruption. “Prozoro” means “transparency” in Ukrainian, and the system also established an oversight committee called “Dozoro” or “watchdog.”
Tkachenko bring up Ukrainian industry leaders emphasize the opportunities that will be available in Ukraine (hopefully) after the war ends. He hoped that Ukrainians would gain a deeper understanding of Taiwan’s advanced technology industry and how it can be used to rebuild Ukraine’s devastated sectors such as energy and healthcare.
The Taiwan External Trade Development Administration (TAITRA) hosted a forum on Tuesday, where about 200 Taiwanese business representatives watched presentations from Ukrainian energy and healthcare organizations.

Ukraine’s infrastructure has been destroyed by the Russian invasion, leaving its population vulnerable to extreme cold. Hans Kluge, Director-General for Europe at the World Health Organization (WHO), said: Said In November, half of Ukraine’s electricity infrastructure was destroyed or completely destroyed by the Russian military, leaving civilians vulnerable to “Covid-19, pneumonia, respiratory infections such as influenza, and “We are at the mercy of serious risks such as diphtheria and measles.” -Vaccinated population. ”
Ukrainian officials complain Russia has been using the brutal “double tap” strategy it perfected during its intervention in the Syrian civil war. In Double Tap, you bomb civilian structures, wait for first responders to arrive on the scene, and then bomb again to maximize casualties. U.S. and European military analysts have noticed that Russia is increasingly attacking the same building multiple times, with about 30 minutes between attacks, typical of Double Tap. It’s a sign.
Double tap tactics also have the dire side effect of increasing infrastructure damage as first responders become reluctant to extinguish fires and repair damaged structures.
On Wednesday, the Council of Europe (CoE) unanimously approved A resolution calling for the use of seized Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine.
