Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ukraine’s Business Battleground
Q: What are the most common complaints, and how have they evolved?
Tax-related problems have historically dominated the docket because taxes are the single most common interaction between business and the state; however, over the past few years the share of tax-related cases has declined from two-thirds–three-quarters to just under half, with improvements in how tax authorities operate and how backlogs are managed.
Ukraine’s Business Battleground
Q: What does Ukraine's business ombudsman take care of?
The ombudsman handles complaints from businesses, focuses on issues affecting the business climate, and aims to identify systemic problems in government that hinder legitimate business activity, while excluding purely private disputes between private parties or unrelated consumer issues.
Hybrid Threats and Resilience in Europe
Q: What role does public trust and media literacy play in countering disinformation?
Media literacy and a whole-of-society approach are essential; engaging communities, funding independent media, and ensuring transparent information flows help build resilience against targeted propaganda.
Hybrid Threats and Resilience in Europe
Q: How can Ukraine and the EU better coordinate on information warfare and resilience?
By maintaining a joint task force for monitoring and disinformation networks, sharing intelligence, and coordinating sanctions and disbandment efforts to reduce the effectiveness of foreign campaigns across member states.
India's Global Tightrope
Q: What could be the long-term impact of Trump-era policies on the Indo-Pacific balance and India's stance towards China and Russia?
Trump-era actions may push some regional players toward China, but India will likely continue hedging and strengthening defense ties with multiple partners, including France and the US, while maintaining a vigilant stance toward China and managing its own security needs.
