"We already have the support of international, national, and local Ukrainian businesses that are ready to enter Crimea and start working immediately after de-occupation. These are powerful brands of international hotel chains, airlines, banking businesses, technology and telecommunications companies, industrial companies," Zelenskyy said.
According to him, such companies as SkyUp, JoinUp, Vodafone, Luxoft, SoftServe, Genesys, Sigma Software, Edem, Okko, LifeСell, Nokia, Hayat Ukraine, EPAM, FOZZY, etc. are ready to invest in Crimea.
