Olga Bielkova: Economic success of Ukraine is shared responsibility
People greet to servicemen of the Ukrainian volonteer battalion \"Kiev 12\" who took part in anti-terrorists operation (ATO) in the east of the country and have come back for a two-week rest, during a welcoming ceremony in the center of Kiev on December 6, 2014. Ukraine's foreign minister said Friday that his war-torn country needed a \"real\" ceasefire, a day after Ukraine and pro-Russian rebels agreed on a fresh truce starting on December 9.

A number of "prophecies" made by the world's leading analysts spelled doom for the Ukrainian economy, and today, indeed, it is teetering on the edge. While the IMF, the international donors, and investors alike recognize the risk of putting money in Ukraine, I wanted to highlight an opportunity. Not just market access and a chance to create shareholder value, but an opportunity to act responsibly in a world, where the system of international law that has delivered unprecedented prosperity, is now being threatened.
