Will billions of euros be enough to rebuild Ukraine at recovery talks

from Today Explained · host Today Explained

The billions of euros currently being pledged at recovery talks will not be enough to rebuild Ukraine.While the June 2026 Ukraine Recovery Conference in Gdańsk, Poland, secured roughly €10 billion across 160 new reconstruction agreements, this public funding is only a small down payment compared to the actual scale of the destruction.The latest joint Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment (RDNA5) released by the World Bank, the European Commission, the UN, and the Ukrainian government estimates that rebuilding Ukraine's economy will cost $588 billion (over €500 billion) over the next decade. Public financial packages alone cannot bridge this gap.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/today-explained--6659607/support.Don’t miss our latest episodes! follow us to stay updates with fresh news everyday.
