Tomorrow, President Ursula von der Leyen will participate in the Ukraine Recovery Conference, in Gdańsk, Poland.

Co-hosted by Poland and Ukraine, the conference scheduled for 25 and 26 June marks the fifth edition of this annual high-level event dedicated to mobilising international support for Ukraine's reconstruction and attracting investment in the country's economy and businesses.

This year, the focus will be on the sectors most impacted by Russia's full-scale war of aggression: energy, critical infrastructure, and logistics. For the first time, discussions will also cover Ukraine's security capabilities.

The Commission plays a key role in maintaining international focus on Ukraine's recovery, both during the war and in the post-war period. Over the course of the two-day event, it will present further initiatives demonstrating its steadfast commitment to the country.

On Thursday, President von der Leyen will deliver a speech at the high-level opening session of the conference, which will be broadcast live on EBS at +/- 10:35 CEST. The President of the European Council, António Costa, the Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk, and the Prime Minister of Ukraine, Yulia Svyrydenko, will also take the floor in this opening session.

Later in the day, President von der Leyen will participate in a leaders' session, before joining a working lunch of the Eastern Flank Summit with leaders of Poland, Bulgaria, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania and Sweden.

Commissioner for the Economy and Productivity, Implementation and Simplification, Valdis Dombrovskis, Commissioner for Defence and Space, Andrius Kubilius, Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, and Commissioner for Startups, Research and Innovation Ekaterina Zaharieva will also participate in the conference.

In the margins of the conference, the members of the College present will hold bilateral meetings with other attendees and participate in side events focused on Ukraine's reconstruction, defence, energy, economy and finance, as well as the country's EU path.
