A recent video by Bogdan Mebli1 highlights the difficulties faced by these businesses, emphasizing the need for adaptation and innovation.

(Small businesses are closing, people are losing jobs, and the Hetman is destroying medium and small businesses). This statement reflects the widespread concerns among Ukrainian entrepreneurs about the economic climate and the impact of political decisions. The video also touches upon the need for SMEs to adopt new technologies, such as GPT, to enhance their competitiveness.
