Enterprise Ireland has appointed a Ukrainian market expert to help Irish companies win business for the post-war reconstruction of the beleaguered country – work estimated to be worth over $500bn.

The ongoing war in Ukraine, initiated by Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, has caused unprecedented devastation to the country’s infrastructure, economy, and society.
