🇪🇺The world's leading experts on reconstruction gathered today for the Conference on the Recovery, Reconstruction and Modernization of Ukraine.💬 President von der Leyen said:“First, we need to make sure that Ukraine at all times gets the support it needs – from relief, to rehabilitation, to long-term reconstruction. Second, we need the right architecture in place to make support as broad and as inclusive as possible. And third, as Ukraine has achieved candidate status to access the European Union, we need to firmly embed Ukraine's reconstruction efforts as part of its path towards the European Union.”The European Commission is working with our Member States so that the Union could support Ukraine with up to EUR 1.5 billion every month of the war, which would be in sum round about EUR 18 billion in 2023.We can never match the sacrifices Ukrainians are making every day. But we can stand with them and provide what they need – for relief, fast rehabilitation and reconstruction.European Commission #StandWithUkraine
