ReBuild Ukraine Conference 2025: Business & Investment Insights

On 13–14 November 2025, Yuliia Solovyeva attended the ReBuild Ukraine Conference in Warsaw as a member of the Cross-Party Group on Ukraine, supporting Scottish delegation. The conference clearly demonstrated that Ukraine’s recovery is transitioning into a large-scale, structured programme driven by international financing, public–private partnerships and cross-border cooperation.

Several important developments reinforced this shift, including the signing of a memorandum between Ukrnafta and Poland’s development bank BGK for a €100 million credit line to support the supply of Polish equipment, the announcement of a €500 million European investment programme focused on reconstruction, and the co-financing of the 1435 mm European railway line between Mostyska and Sknyliv through a €76 million CEF grant. These initiatives highlight increased alignment between infrastructure priorities and available financial instruments.

Discussions also emphasised the emergence of new funding mechanisms, including a potential EU reparations-based credit instrument backed by frozen Russian assets, and the prospect of a bilateral financing agreement between Ukraine and Poland for reconstruction projects from 2026 onwards. For private companies, this signals a growing pipeline of structured, bankable projects across construction, infrastructure, energy and industrial development. At the same time, the importance of transparency, governance and regained investor confidence was repeatedly underlined as a key condition for sustained long-term engagement in Ukraine’s recovery.
