KYIV, Dec 26 - The National Association of Extractive Industry of Ukraine questions the possibility of attracting investors to the critical materials mining industry, as envisaged by the fourth point of the Victory Plan published in October, in the context of the current state regulation of the mining industry.

"In order to invite investors here, we need to do a lot of homework, starting with market deregulation, clearing investment barriers, as well as developing solutions for benefits and insurance," said Ksenia Orynchak, executive director of the association, in a comment to the Interfax-Ukraine agency.
