Ukraine must draw up a program on export promotion, U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey R. Pyatt has said.

While speaking at the First National Export Support Forum in Kyiv on April 16, he said that it is hugely important for there to be government policy that maintains exports and helps industry through loans, government policy, and diplomatic efforts.

Pyatt added that corruption is the only obstacle that needs to be overcome in Ukraine, including in business.
