Ukrainian Defence Minister Denys Shmyhal met with Odile Renaud-Basso, President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
The Minister of Defence expressed gratitude to the EBRD for its unwavering support and investment in Ukraine throughout the full-scale war. The EBRD remains one of Ukraine’s key international partners amid russian aggression.
During the meeting, the parties focused on the prospect of securing additional funding, including for supporting wounded Ukrainian defenders. The meeting also addressed the potential for EBRD involvement in a major initiative to establish a modern network of rehabilitation centres for service members’ recovery.
