Risk matters Ukraine

Ukraine: Insurance, commerce and what comes next

Risk Matters: The DWF insurance podcast | Ep01

In this episode we explore how insurers are responding to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the role insurance can play in helping support the Ukrainian economy.

The war in Ukraine has now entered its third year, and Ukrainian forces continue their defence against Russian invasion. How is the Ukrainian economy faring and how are Ukrainian businesses adapting to life in war? 

Our host for this podcast is David Abbott, Senior Partner, Insurance Services and Head of Global Risks at DWF. Nick Hedley, an underwriting expert in Credit and Political Risk Insurance joins David in the studio for the discussion. They are joined virtually by two guests from one of the leading law firms in Ukraine, INTEGRITES: Igor Krasovskiy, a Partner of the Banking & Finance practice, and Olena Savchuk, a Counsel in the same practice. With their wealth of experience in Ukrainian deals, the business and investment environment, and local legislation, Igor and Olena provide insights into political violence and political risk insurance in Ukraine, particularly in the context of the ongoing war. 

Podcast live from 22nd May 2024.
