Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko on Tuesday announced she will lead Kyiv’s delegation to this week’s Ukraine Recovery Conference in Gdańsk, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy set to skip the event amid a growing diplomatic dispute with his Polish counterpart, Karol Nawrocki.
“I am leading Ukraine’s delegation and our overall work at the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2026 in Gdańsk,” wrote Svyrydenko on X. The Ukrainian team will include business leaders, officials, lawmakers and local community representatives looking to secure “concrete agreements” on Ukraine’s defense capabilities, resilience and energy sector, she said.
The conference, which is co-hosted by Poland and Ukraine and set to take place from June 25 to 26, is aimed at rallying international backing for Ukraine’s reconstruction and securing investment for the country’s war-torn businesses.
