Ukraine and Denmark have launched a new Ukraine Transition Program 2025–2028 with a budget of 2.8 billion Danish kroner ($375 million). The program focuses on restoring critical infrastructure, humanitarian aid, supporting veterans and internally displaced persons, fostering business, green transition in energy and transport, and continuing reforms. Ukraine has gained positive experience from cooperation with Denmark, particularly in Mykolaiv, where water pipelines were built to ensure the city’s access to drinking water.

The day before, Maryna Denysiuk, Deputy Minister of Communities and Territories Development, met with representatives of the European Investment Bank (EIB) to discuss the implementation of investment projects for infrastructure reconstruction and development. The EIB was represented by Matteo Rivellini, Head of Division, and Kristina Mikulova, Head of EIB Regional Hub for Eastern Europe.
“As part of comprehensive recovery, we are not just rebuilding houses; we are creating a new space with a multisectoral approach, following the principle of ‘build back better.’ We consistently incorporate the EU’s experience of implementing energy-efficient solutions and best practices. This will encourage people to stay in their communities rather than move to big cities,” emphasized Ms. Denysiuk among others.
The issue of recovery was recently discussed at a meeting held within the framework of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities under the President of Ukraine. Oleksii Kuleba, Vice Prime Minister for Reconstruction and Minister of Communities and Territories Development, met with heads of communities and regions, outlining the main focus of their work:
“People see not just renovated walls but communities where they can live and work. This is the main focus of our efforts. We are restoring the infrastructure, creating the opportunities for new housing projects, and supporting communities financially and organizationally. This is a task we undertake daily together with local authorities,” commented Mr. Kuleba.

“It is crucial to keep in mind that reconstruction must be comprehensive, encompassing infrastructure, production capacities, and housing. The construction client plays a decisive role in maintaining a balanced proportion of the recovery components. Local authorities must also take care of this, as discussed in the referenced sources. Forming the recovery priorities and determining the sequence of project delivery is a complex professional task. Thankfully, this country has the intellectual potential for this, and we hope it is being utilized in these processes,” commented Oleksandr Nepomnyashchyy, President of ICEG.
