    The evolution of political violence insurance in Ukraine

    In this episode of Geopolcast, we examine the evolution of political violence insurance in Ukraine, a country that has seen a surge in demand due to ongoing conflicts since 2014. The annexation of Crimea and the conflict in Donbas have led to a critical need for war risk insurance, but the supply has decreased, making premiums unaffordable for many local entities. We discuss the challenges and potential solutions, including the role of detailed government data and the varying risk perceptions across different regions. Join us as guests Vyacheslav Andriyko and Karan Chandan share insights on the international market's response to these risks, the potential for public-private partnerships, and the importance of a nuanced approach to underwriting in Ukraine.
