financial aid

The annual conference on Ukraine’s postwar reconstruction is taking place in Gdańsk, Poland. The prime minister of the war-torn country expects more than 160 agreements worth over 240 billion crowns to be signed there. What significance does this conference have for Ukraine’s future reconstruction? And is signing more than 160 agreements even a realistic scenario? Filip Křenek, a Research Associate Fellow at EUROPEUM Institute, provided commentary for the Headline program.

The countries of the European Union have approved aid in the form of an increase of the European Peace Facility (EPF) by five billion euros. The decision to create a special fund to help Ukraine represents an important step towards strengthening support for the country against Russian aggression. Žiga Faktor, deputy director of the EUROPEUM Institute and head of the Brussels office, commented on the creation of the fund and its possible results for Slovakian RTVS.
