Watch as Ukraine Recovery Conference in London continues for second day
Watch live as the Ukraine Recovery Conference in London continues for a second day.
This year’s summit focused on mobilising international support for Ukraine’s economic and social stabilisation and recovery from the effects of war.
Other sessions on Thursday 22 June included speeches on “restoring livelihoods”, “tech for transformation” and “role of the regions in Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction”.
Opening the conference yesterday, Rishi Sunak pledged to stand with Kyiv “as long as it takes” as he announced three billion US dollars (£2.35 billion) in bank loan guarantees to bolster rebuild.
The prime minister also met with the president of the European Commission, president of Estonia, prime ministers of Latvia and Ukraine, and the US secretary of state on Wednesday.
Discussing the important role of the private sector in the rebuild of Ukraine, Mr Sunak said it was fantastic to see so many companies and businesses attend the London summit.
The leaders also discussed the importance of a united approach to global challenges, including artificial intelligence and Indo-Pacific stability.
