Chancellor Olaf Scholz is among those set to speak at the German-Ukrainian Economic Forum in Berlin, where the focus will be on Ukraine’s economic resilience.
From the German side, Economy Minister Robert Habeck and Development Minister Svenja Schulze are also expected to attend.
Ukraine’s Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko and Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko are also expected to join.
Organizers say special attention will be given to Ukraine’s energy supply as well as cooperation between German and Ukrainian arms companies.
The gathering comes nearly three years into the full-scale Russian invasion of the country, and with Ukraine once again facing a winter of power shortages amid Russia’s relentless attacks on its energy infrastructure.
In 2023, Germany exported goods worth €6.9 billion ($8.8 billion) to Ukraine, while it imported goods worth €2.9 billion.
Imports from Ukraine mainly included agricultural products, automotive parts and food.
