What happened in Gdańsk
Ukrainian Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko led the national delegation and reported the conference’s results, which included partnerships across energy, defense, infrastructure, and housing. The event drew heavyweight participation: European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk were both present.
During the conference, Brussels disbursed the first €3.2 billion tranche of a much larger €90 billion Ukraine support package.
Separately, a $3.4 billion agreement was signed with the World Bank under what’s being called the First Growth and Jobs Development Policy Operation.
