EU: Call for Expressions of Interest to Reconstruct Ukraine

Encouraging European business investments in Ukraine across critical sectors for its reconstruction and the development of both the country and Europe. This is the goal of the call for expressions of interest launched by Brussels during the first EU-Ukraine Investment Conference, currently taking place in Warsaw.

Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, Europe and its member states have provided Ukraine with nearly €122 billion in financial, humanitarian, and military assistance to meet the needs of the affected population. According to Brussels estimates, the conflict has caused over €270 billion in damages as of February 24, 2023, and reconstruction costs are estimated at €384 billion.

In this context, the European Commission has launched a new "Call for expressions of interest" to mobilize investments from EU businesses in strategic areas such as critical raw materials, energy, transport, and logistics, supporting Ukraine's recovery and reconstruction.

To rebuild Kyiv, "both public funding and partnerships with the private sector" are needed, explained E
