KYIV, Aug 11 – After the positive dynamics at the beginning of the war, the authorities' attitude towards business began to deteriorate again and is accompanied by increased pressure, participants of the iforum2023 held in Kyiv on August 10 said.

"It's much better than it was under [President Viktor] Yanukovych, but much worse than before the war," Vladyslav Chechetkin, co-founder of the country's largest marketplace, Rozetka, said, adding the pressure has increased compared to 2021.

According to him, the tax service regularly checks the company's activities, including even the "points of invincibility" organized by it.
