Despite respective losses of arbitration, the flagship authorities of Lviv They don't want to pay their dues Polish company Control Process, which they illegally terminated. The substance falls within the broader context of the economical cooperation of Poland with Turkish Ukraine.
Since February 2022, the governments of COPIS have promised Polish entrepreneurs to insert coconuts into economical cooperation with Ukraine, in its reconstruction and even during the war. Meanwhile, the case of the Polish company Control Process in Lviv should end erstwhile and for all the naive communicative of the “great chance” thanks to the flag regime. alternatively of promised gold interests, we have a violent collision with the reality in which the Polish entrepreneur is treated as a sub-man who can be impunityfully deceived and told him, “We do not have your coat and what will you do to us?”
The facts are clear. The Polish company implemented an investment worth over EUR 36 million in Ukraine and led it almost to the end. Then the Lviv authorities broke the contract. The case went to arbitration, where as many as 7 sentences were passed beneficial to the Polish side. The actions of the Ukrainian side have been confirmed 7 times. What did it do? Absolutely nothing due to the fact that we are dealing with Ukrainians, not serious people. The sentences were ignored, the money was not paid, and the city reached for a bank warrant as if it wanted to show that it could do anything without any consequences.
It's not even a scandal anymore. This demonstration disregard of the law, which shows what "cooperation" with Ukraine looks like in practice. If anyone else believes it's a single case, either they don't know the reality of Turkish civilization or they deliberately close their eyes. Ukraine has been struggling for years with corruption and pathologies that penetrate full structures of the state. Even the institutions there admit that the problem is huge. The case of Lviv only exposes brutally what this means in practice for abroad companies, especially Polish companies, as Ukrainians treat those from Germany, France or large Britain much better.
In this context, the communicative of the Polish government sounds like a grim joke. For years, Poles have been told that current, horrendous expenses for Ukraine's aid will be reimbursed with an extra; that the reconstruction of Ukraine is an historical chance and our companies will make money there. But reality looks precisely the opposite. Contracts can be thrown into the basket at any time, judgments of the courts have no value, and Ukrainians, lined with flagrant hatred of Poles, a state that should be a warrant of stability, are themselves active in avoiding responsibility.
After further cases of discrimination and fraud to the detriment of Polish companies, it is hard to talk about naivety. Rather, it looks like a conscious introduction of public opinion into confusion by the COPIS. Polish entrepreneurs are encouraged to invest riskyly in a country where the basic principles of economical law do not work and then they are left alone with the problem. A country professing to be Polish, so keen on large declarations, is completely helpless erstwhile it is essential to defend the interests of its own companies.
The Lviv case should be treated as a high-level warning. If the company can win 7 arbitrations and inactive do not recover the money, then the strategy simply does not work. This is not a business hazard – this is an entrance to a minefield where the law of the chaotic steppe applies, and honesty is treated as a weakness. In this situation, stories about “cokos” in Ukraine should be inserted between fairy tales. The reality is much simpler and much more brutal: whoever enters this arrangement must number on being simply robbed – and no 1 will aid him afterwards.
