Ukraine’s EU accession process presents a strategic opportunity to drive growth, trade and investment across Europe. For transatlantic businesses, integration offers access to a resilient, resource-rich market and strengthened supply chains, with new opportunities in key sectors including digital, agri-food and energy. But realising this potential requires Ukraine to enhance institutional capacity, modernise infrastructure and align more closely with EU regulatory standards. In parallel, the EU must prepare for enlargement while supporting Ukraine’s recovery and trade integration. Inclusive public-private dialogue, regulatory support and rule of law reforms will be essential. With the right framework, Ukraine’s accession can deliver lasting prosperity for Ukraine, the EU and international business partners.

Ukraine’s recovery: a transatlantic imperative
Ukraine’s recovery is one of Europe’s most urgent and strategic challenges. The €50 billion Ukraine Facility offers a critical tool to drive recovery and convergence with EU norms if supported by strong governance, fair access for international partners, effective de-risking tools and a clear path to EU integration. Embedding these priorities into a long-term investment strategy will help build a resilient and competitive Ukraine.
Implementing the Ukraine Facility
The Ukraine Facility represents a great opportunity to bolster Ukraine’s resilience and economic growth as well as the European Union’s commitment to this cause. To be successfully implemented, resources must be deployed in a fair and transparent manner. Open governance, including structured and regular incorporation of business feedback, is also needed to ensure the Facility meets economic and strategic objectives effectively. Additionally, EU stakeholders should start considering how they can provide clarity and strategic planning beyond the current terms of the Facility and how the Multiannual Financial Framework can provide stability and confidence for long-term investments. Taken together, this approach to the Facility’s implementation can foster a conducive environment for business operations and sustainable economic growth in Ukraine.
