Poland plans to hold a major Ukraine reconstruction conference in 2026 and will actively participate in post-war recovery projects, Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced on Tuesday ahead of a government meeting.
Tusk noted that a reconstruction conference will take place in Rome this July, bringing together many countries, thousands of companies, and experts interested in rebuilding Ukraine after the war.
“We're talking about business projects worth billions. This is not just about helping Ukraine, but also a major business opportunity. We will be present in Rome for this conference. We have also made efforts—and I don’t want to get ahead of myself—but we have a strong chance of hosting a similar investor-focused conference in Poland next year. I hope this will happen—we're on a good path,” he emphasized.
The Polish PM also thanked Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski for joint efforts to ensure Poland is part of the key group involved in decisions concerning Ukraine. He highlighted the development of the “Weimar Triangle+” format, calling it a significant diplomatic achievement for Poland, which is not among Europe’s largest countries.
“The fact that we are participating in these talks at both the prime ministerial and foreign ministerial levels is the result of serious engagement. And as you can imagine, not everyone in Europe is pleased about this,” Tusk remarked, adding he would not name the countries that also want a seat at the table.
Tusk also referred to his recent visit to Kyiv alongside leaders from the UK, Germany, and France. Meanwhile, Sikorski met in London with counterparts from the “Weimar Triangle+” and also spoke with U.S. Senator Mark Rubio.
“We will continue working in this format at various levels,” Tusk concluded.
