International conference "Rebuilding Ukraine"

At the initiative of the Ministry of Economy and Innovation of Lithuania, on July 12, 2022, the international conference "Rebuilding Ukraine" was held in Vilnius. During the conference, political figures, representatives of business and the expert community discussed plans for the restoration of Ukraine.

As one of Ukraine's closest partners, Lithuania calls on all those who care about the future of Ukraine to resolutely take up the restoration of the country's destroyed infrastructure.

Another important topic is the reconstruction of Ukraine after the war, which is associated not only with the reconstruction of buildings and infrastructure, but also with the modernization of institutions and economic recovery. A platform and a new financial instrument "Rebuilt Ukraine facility" should be created, which will consolidate all support, including that provided by international institutions and member states of the European Union.
