On November 4, the Ukrainian delegation held two meetings in Brussels with international partners dedicated to the post-war recovery of the country and financing of Ukraine in 2027. The parties determined further steps for preparing the economic plan and also discussed the state's needs for the next year and sources for covering the financial deficit.
This was reported by the Head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine, Rustem Umerov on his Facebook page.
Ukraine and partners agreed on further work on the recovery plan
The first meeting was dedicated to the preparation of the Ukraine Prosperity Plan. According to Umerov, this is one of the key documents that the Ukrainian side is currently working on together with international partners.
The document should determine mechanisms for post-war recovery of Ukraine, attraction of investments, and creation of conditions for further development of the national economy.
Representatives of the European Commission, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, NATO, the World Bank, and the international investment company BlackRock participated in the discussion.
From the Ukrainian side, teams from the Ministry of Economy, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Defense, and the Office of the President joined the work.
Umerov noted that preparation of the document has moved to substantive work. As a result of the meeting, the participants agreed on specific further actions and deadlines for their implementation.
However, the content of the agreements reached is not yet disclosed. According to the Head of the Foreign Intelligence Service, work on the document is ongoing, and details and results will be presented later.
Partners were presented with Ukraine's financial needs for 2027
The second meeting was dedicated to ensuring financing for Ukraine next year.
As Umerov reported, representatives of the Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Finance, and the Office of the President presented to international partners the calculations of the state's needs for 2027.
In particular, the Ukrainian side demonstrated calculations of the required resources, the size of the financial deficit to be covered, and potential sources of financing.
Umerov called the presented calculations the "mathematics of war" for the next year.
Thus, the discussion concerned not only the total volume of Ukraine's needs but also possible mechanisms for ensuring the necessary financing.
Umerov did not name specific amounts of the financial deficit and expected revenues in his message. Also, no allocation of new funds has been announced as a result of the meeting.
A separate topic of the negotiations was threats from Russia that affect not only Ukraine but also European states.
The participants discussed possible joint actions to counter these threats. The proposed measures are not detailed in the message.
Security guarantees negotiations to continue on November 5
Umerov announced that on Thursday, November 5, the Ukrainian delegation will continue working with international partners on security guarantees.
According to him, the discussion goes beyond purely Ukrainian security. It is also about the formation of a new security architecture for all of Europe after the war ends.
The Head of the Foreign Intelligence Service emphasized that Ukraine's long-term security is directly linked to ensuring stability on the European continent.
Therefore, the preparation of security guarantees, the recovery plan, and mechanisms for economic development is being conducted in parallel. The Ukrainian side views these areas as interconnected components of a unified plan for the country's post-war future.
According to Umerov, without ensuring Ukraine's long-term security, it is impossible to guarantee Europe's long-term security.
Thus, following the meetings on November 4, the parties determined further steps and deadlines for preparing the Prosperity Plan, considered Ukraine's financing needs for 2027, and discussed common security threats. The next stage of consultations will focus on security guarantees, while the final parameters of the economic plan and financial arrangements have not yet been made public.
