Ukraine needs over $17B for reconstruction this year alone.

According to updated estimates, the total requirement for financing Ukraine’s recovery is $524B, with $17.3B needed for 2025 alone. Among the priorities are housing, critical infrastructure, energy, and social services.

This year, it is planned to allocate ₴36.5B in subsidies for local budgets. In addition, the government has allocated almost ₴2B for 180 communities in nine border and frontline regions. The largest amounts have already been received by the Kharkiv region – almost ₴500M, the Kherson region – over ₴200M, the Sumy region – ₴200M, the Donetsk region – ₴150M, and the Dnipropetrovsk region – ₴60M. A separate area of funding is ensuring military logistics. ₴5.2B has been allocated for the repair and maintenance of roads and evacuation routes important for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The State Fund for Regional Development has received funding of ₴1B ($24M) for the first time since the start of the full-scale invasion, and next year, this amount is planned to be increased to approximately ₴30B ($715M).

Furthermore, the government has allocated over ₴890M to implement reconstruction projects in the Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv regions.
