After several attempts to enter the Ukrainian retail market over the past 15 years, Swedish flat-pack furniture giant IKEA officially launched online sales in Ukraine on May 14 in anticipation of opening its first physical store in the country.
“We are happy to start operating in Ukraine thanks to the launch of the online store, especially during the time when everybody is paying attention to safety and a comfortable home stay,” said Florian Mellet, IKEA’s chief in Ukraine, according to the company’s press release.
