In this episode, we will delve into a highly complex question: what is the reconstruction of Ukraine like? Recently, several attempts to answer that question were made in London, where the Ukraine Recovery Conference was held in late June 2023. The conference was attended by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, as well as US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.

The issue of reconstruction is indeed enormous, and it can be overwhelming to know where to start. Questions like when to begin rebuilding cities and whether it's safe to invest in Ukraine are vital considerations. Moreover, determining the amount of financial support Ukraine needs and identifying the sources of this finance are critical aspects to address.

Compared to the Lugano Conference in 2022, the recent Ukraine Recovery Conference has seen a significant increase in specific and precise ideas and suggestions. The key message from the conference is that Ukrainian partners are committed to sustaining their support and gaining a better understanding of how this support can be shaped and implemented.

The road to reconstruction may be challenging, but with continued dedication and collaboration, Ukraine is poised to make significant progress in rebuilding and revitalizing its future.

In addition, we will provide you with updates from the frontlines, highlight the main events in Ukraine during the week of July 4 – 11, and share a significant event from Ukrainian history.

Together, let's seek the truth, foster understanding, and strive for a better future.
