Ukraine reconstruction and debt relief
G7 creditors and Paris Club members agreed on April 18, 2026, to defer Ukraine's debt payments until 2030, as part of a broader EU and US initiative for Ukraine's recovery and development. As of April 28, 2026, BlackRock is advising on the $800 billion Ukraine reconstruction plan pro-bono, though representatives cautioned that attracting significant outside investment is challenging in a war zone. The World Bank, Ukrainian government, European Commission, and UN estimated in February 2026 that Ukraine's recovery and reconstruction will cost $588 billion over the next decade, with housing (31%), transport (20.6%), and energy (12%) being the most affected sectors. Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko met with US officials in April 2026 to discuss reconstruction, with the US-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund (URIF) approving its first project in March 2026, and the EU approving up to –2.7 billion for Ukraine in April 2026.
