Business is clawing back in Ukraine, but it won't be anything like normal for a long time.
Despite Russian missiles hitting Kharkiv on nearly a daily basis, 5 of the 18 branches of Bricks Coffee and Desserts in the city have reopened. The head of the coffee shop chain says sales are still far below pre-war levels.
"Part of our staff live in the areas under constant shelling or missile attacks," he says."Or they have small children — so they can't come back."Big industries and small businesses alike are hurting And with Russian cruise missiles slamming into cities all across the country, companies are hesitant to rebuild, banks are hesitant to invest and insurance companies are reluctant to underwrite new construction.
The company gave away its last stocks of food from its warehouses, Spivak says, and continues to pay employees from the Kharkiv plant even though it's shut.By any estimation, this is an extremely hard time to run a business in Ukraine.
