After the war ends, Ukraine will have to repay the loans it received from its partners. Therefore, Ukraine should already develop a plan for the effective use of available resources, in particular mineral raw materials and agricultural potential, as well as strengthen the development of processing capacities for the production of value-added products.
This was stated by Mykhailo Gonchar, an expert on international energy and security relations, in an interview with the YouTube channel "Komersant Ukrainian".

“The focus should be on using the available resource base, in particular mineral raw materials, together with partners. And not just extracting and exporting it as raw materials, but first processing it here, creating the necessary processing capacities for this. This will make it possible to generate cash flow and gradually repay loans,” he believes.
The expert emphasizes that the development of energy potential and agro-industry will also become a key source of income for the country. At the same time, it is important to avoid the temptation to sell raw materials quickly.
