Victor Pinchuk Foundation and YES to Hold Discussion No Security – No Recovery on the occasion of the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome

On the occasion of the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC) in Rome, the Victor Pinchuk Foundation and Yalta European Strategy (YES) will hold a panel discussion titled “No Security – No Recovery”. The event will address one of the most pressing questions of the moment: can Europe not only support Ukraine’s post-war recovery, but do what is needed to help Ukraine win the war now?

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, European countries have gathered annually to discuss Ukraine’s future reconstruction, promising long-term support. However, Ukraine’s physical security – and very survival – depend on Europe today. Ukraine urgently needs weapons, defense funding, air defense systems, and resources to immediately rebuild destroyed infrastructure and housing. Is Europe rising to meet the moment?

The discussion will be moderated by Carl Bildt, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Sweden (2006-2014); Prime Minister of Sweden (1991-1994), and Sanna Marin, Prime Minister of Finland (2019-2023), both members of the YES board.

Speakers include, among others:

·       Kristen Michal, Prime Minister of the Republic of Estonia;

·       LTG (ret.) Keith Kellogg, Assistant to the US President and US Special Envoy for Ukraine;

·       Olga Stefanishyna, Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine;

·       Giorgio Mulé, Vice President, Chamber of Deputies of Italy.

The Victor Pinchuk Foundation consistently leverages international platforms to put Ukraine on the agenda. The Foundation organizes high-profile Ukrainian events in Davos during the World Economic Forum, Ukrainian events during the Munich Security Conference, and the YES Annual Meeting in Kyiv, which gathers global leaders to engage in dialogue about global challenges and Ukraine’s future.
