High-level conference on Ukraine’s reconstruction takes place in Berlin

Today, the International Expert Conference on the Recovery, Reconstruction and Modernisation of Ukraine takes place in Berlin.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will co-host the event.

The conference brings together internationally renowned experts from various disciplines, international organisations, high-level government representatives, think tanks and academics, as well as representatives of civil society and the private sector, together with the Ukrainian government. Participants will discuss key issues for Ukraine’s recovery, reconstruction and modernisation, including with a view to EU accession.

“The road to reconstruction is at the same time Ukraine’s path towards its vision to become a more modern, democratic and prosperous country. Every euro, every dollar, every pound and every yen spent will be an investment in Ukraine and democratic values around the globe,” Ursula von der Leyen said. “At the same time the broad support for the brave people of Ukraine is a strong statement that the free and democratic nations of this world stand together.”
