Ukraine will require approximately €40 billion in the first years after the war to restore its road infrastructure and build a new logistics system.
Serhii Sukhomlyn, Head of the State Agency for Restoration and Development of Infrastructure, made the statement while speaking at the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC) 2026, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“The war has already changed Ukraine’s logistics map, and after the war we will face an enormous amount of work to build an entirely new logistics system. During the first two post-war years, these projects are estimated to require around €40 billion. We clearly understand that without attracting private investment, without building concession roads, and without implementing public-private partnership models, it will be almost impossible to carry out this work,” Sukhomlyn said.
He told participants in the panel discussion that Ukraine had already prepared several such projects and announced that tenders for participation in them would be launched at the beginning of the following year.
According to Sukhomlyn, the first projects will be relatively small and will focus on restoring road infrastructure as close as possible to the European Union border.
“These projects will allow us to test the model before expanding it across the entire country,” the head of the Agency for Restoration added.
As previously reported, Ukraine is seeking international partners to implement more than 30 public-private partnership projects, with 15 of them scheduled to begin in 2026.
