  • Report #2 May / 2018
    REPORT #2 MAY / 2018 TRUMAN REPORT The League of Champions final just took place in Kyiv recently. I personally don’t watch football, so I wasn’t paying much attention to how the teams played, but I watched the work of those who were responsible for security during this huge event: the police, the National Guard and the Security Service of Ukraine. Tens of thousands of agitated fans, hundreds of flights and nearly the entire downtown of Kyiv was a pedestrian zone. The scale was incredible – and Ukraine scored top marks. This is a country that underwent a revolution four years ago and has been suffering a war ever since. Yet no one used the shortage of qualified personnel, the lack of a coalition, insufficient legislation, or upcoming elections as an excuse. The job had to be done, and done well. And so it was. This kind of mobilization demonstrates, not for the first time, how well Ukraine performs under difficult conditions. What a pity, then, that when the mobilization factor disappears, we see a completely different picture unfold. In this issue of TRUMAN Report, our interlocutors talk about Ukraine’s prospects, about how much has been achieved in the last four years, and how easily it could all be lost, now that elections are less than a year away. The main concern is campaign populism and the long election cycle. First comes the pre­ si dential election, then elections to the Verkhovna Rada, and only after that will we see a functioning Government in Ukraine. Like most administrations, this one is not prepared to take unpopular steps just before an election, and so reforms are being moved to the back burner.

  • Report №1 November / 2017
    REPORT №1 NOVEMBER / 2017 TRUMAN REPORT When I want to tell someone about Ukraine's successes in response to persistent claims of corruption and chaos, I talk about the reform of Naftogaz of Ukraine, VAT refunds, about hundreds of kilometers of resurfaced roads, and about the lively growth of the IT sector. Typically, I run into surprise and disbelief. And truthfully, I run into more disbelief with interlocutors in Ukraine than with those abroad. The challenges facing Ukraine today require not just hard work, but also deliberate, consistent communication. The real success stories that Ukraine has achieved in the last few years often remain little known within the country itself and not very clear to the outside world. This very issue became the starting point for launching TRUMAN Report, a publication in which key players discus the successes and problems in their areas, their businesses, and in the country as a whole. Our team wants to provide an independent platform for the opinions of those who support different points from the entire spectrum. State-owned and private companies, officials and experts all see these challenges from different sides and various angles. That's why we decided to use direct speech in this publication. TRUMAN Agency engages in public affairs, so we can take advantage of our access to corporate leaders, heads of state agencies and insiders within Ukraine as well as opportunities to talk about the country's successes with investors, partners and colleagues beyond its borders. Right now, we'd like to make our efforts more systematic. Twice a year, in autumn and spring, we will issue TRUMAN Report and gather speakers, clients and partners at a public event.
