DAVOS, Jan 27 – Ukraine's rich resource base, well-established infrastructure, and expertise in mining and mineral development position it as a strong candidate to integrate into the emerging global value chains in the critical raw materials (CRM) sector, said Oleksandr Kravchenko, managing partner at McKinsey Ukraine.

"This is what truly makes Ukraine a unique and very strong partner in building these value chains alongside allies in this changing context," he stated during a session on CRM at the Ukraine House Davos 2025 at the World Economic Forum.
