Ukraine’s ex-PM says $300B in frozen Russian funds won’t cover its $524B reconstruction needs, urging immediate use of assets to sustain its war economy.
Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk says frozen Russian assets totaling $300 billion are inadequate to cover Ukraine’s $524 billion reconstruction needs, stressing ongoing reliance on foreign aid.
He warns current funding won’t last a year and calls for immediate use of frozen assets to support Ukraine’s wartime economy.
While private investment remains impossible during conflict, Yatsenyuk highlights massive Western military aid as strategic investment that has weakened Russia and tested advanced weapons.
Post-war, he forecasts major foreign investment in Ukraine’s military-industrial complex, energy, infrastructure, and agriculture, with small modular nuclear reactors seen as key to energy independence and lower costs.
He notes EU accession will require compromises, and recent tech investments signal growing confidence in Ukraine’s recovery despite ongoing challenges.
