A December vote would allow contractors to begin a program of work, including procurement processes and building surveys, estimated to cost £3 billion over seven years. But it would not determine the final option for wholesale restoration, which will only be decided in 2030.

Decoupling from Moldova The document also underscores a growing divergence between Ukraine and Moldova, whose membership bids have long advanced in parallel.
