The Czech-Ukrainian Chamber of Industry & Commerce was pleased to meet again at the Consulate of Ukraine in Brno with Consul Anna Proshko. It was, once more, a very pleasant and constructive discussion in a warm atmosphere.
Since 2021, Consul Proshko has served as a dedicated, committed, and highly supportive representative of Ukraine in Brno through a period shaped by COVID-19 and deeply impacted by the ongoing, aggressive war. Her work reflects the daily reality of providing assistance under extraordinary circumstances.
During the meeting, we were pleased to introduce Mr. Andrii Levkovych, Honorary Consul of the Czech Republic in Ukraine, to Consul Proshko.
Mr. Levkovych represents a strong business community in Western Ukraine, and this week several entrepreneurs from Ukraine travelled with us to the Czech Republic.
✅ We supported them in opening and registering their companies
✅ Assisted with key administrative steps and formalities
✅ Connected them with first business partners and opportunities
Our conversation was not only about the current business potential for Ukrainian entrepreneurs in the Czech Republic, but also about Czech companies preparing to start business activities in Ukraine in early 2026.
🌍📈 This two-way cooperation is exactly what the Chamber stands for.
We also discussed the situation of Ukrainian refugees, especially those arriving from Western regions, and how this might develop in the future.
Consul Proshko highlighted the broad scope of the Consulate’s responsibilities, covering not only Moravia, but also regions such as Pardubický and Vysočina. This underlines how wide the geographic reach of support needs to be.
A particularly important topic was the situation of seniors, who often face the biggest challenges:
🦯 limited mobility
🏥 access to care
🧩 isolation
🕯️ loss and grief
We discussed where the Chamber and its community can help, and how to strengthen support systems around the most vulnerable.
The human impact of war remains profound. We also spoke about the possibility of war ending and the expected return of Ukrainians home. 🏠🕊️
Finally, we presented our Chamber plans for the coming year, including expansion beyond Western Ukraine and deeper engagement in regions such as Odesa, Vinnytsia, Ternopil, and Dnipro, building on the visits and cooperation we started this year. 📌🌱
A sincere thank you to Consul Anna Proshko for her openness, professionalism, and ongoing support.
We look forward to the next steps and continued cooperation. 🤝✨
