War risk: location and insurablity

War risk is part of the decision. Here is how it is addressed in practice.

For an industrial investor, the key question is whether location risk can be contained and whether practical risk-mitigation tools already exist. In western Ukraine, both conditions are already in place.

Western Ukraine should be assessed separately from frontline geographies

Lviv region is classified within Ukraine’s Green Zone for investment planning according to the Investment Map of Ukraine (supported by EBA and UkraineInvest). This classification is based on the official War Risks in Ukraine Data Platform, developed with the support of global risk advisor Marsh McLennan.

For investors, this means western Ukraine can be assessed separately from frontline geographies and is highly attractive for business expansion under standard risk management protocols.

War-risk insurance mechanisms for industrial investment in Ukraine already exist

Ukraine already has working war-risk insurance pathways involving MIGA, DFC, global reinsurers, and the Ukrainian ECA. These mechanisms help eligible investment projects reduce exposure to war-related risks and make project structuring more feasible.
