While ongoing efforts are made by the international community to provide short-term relief and stop the Russian war of aggression on Ukraine, it is equally important to plan for the subsequent extensive reconstruction. Comprehensive support will be needed for Ukraine's total reconstruction to repair the war damage and lay the groundwork for a free and prosperous future.
At this event, the panellists evaluated Ukraine’s current financial needs, assessed the existing funding mechanisms and discussed the international aid efforts that could help improve Ukraine’s resilience and recovery. The speakers also touched upon the importance of the private sector's contribution to Ukraine's recovery, including its financing and assistance, as well as how foreign aid could be structured to guarantee private sector involvement.
