It should be mentioned that the Opendatabot index is an analytical tool that allows the actual state and geography of Ukrainian business to be assessed. It is based on information from state registers, Opendatabot’s registers, financial statements of companies, sources covering connections to Russia, sanctions lists, and other analytical tools.
