BUILDING A MODERN EUROPEAN UKRAINE
Russia’s war against Ukraine causes damage of many hundreds of billions of Euros to infrastructure,
business facilities, residential areas and the environment.
After the war, state institutions will have to be restructured.
Ukraine’s membership in the EU necessitates signifi cant adjustments.
Th ese fundamental changes require immense support, both fi nancial and advisory,
from the international community. Ukrainian civil society also plays a central role here.
The event will also be streamed live on https://www.facebook.com/DiplomatischeAkademieWien/live
Registration to participate at the venue required by 19 June 2023 via www.da-vienna.ac.at/events.
