Leaders Gather in Poland for Ukraine Reconstruction Conference

In June 2026, the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC 2026) took place in the historic city of Gdańsk, Poland.

This major international summit brought together over 5,000 global leaders and experts to discuss the long-term reconstruction of Ukraine.

With a pragmatic focus on sectors like energy, infrastructure, and defense, the event aimed to turn promises into reality.

Beyond the numbers, the choice of Gdańsk held deep symbolic meaning, highlighting the hope that cities destroyed by conflict can rise again.

Notable for the absence of President Zelenskyy, the delegation was led by Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko.

This annual series, which began as a reform-focused event in 2017, continues to play a critical role in supporting Ukraine's future.

The global community is now looking ahead to the next gathering in Tallinn, Estonia, in July 2027.
