FIEC Statement - Four years on: from resilience to reconstruction in Ukraine (February 2026)
Four years after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, FIEC reiterates its condemnation of this war of aggression and reaffirms its full solidarity with the Ukrainian people and all those working for a just and lasting peace.
As Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction needs are estimated at USD 587 billion, solidarity must now be matched with action—turning commitments into transparent, project-ready delivery on the ground. Through the joint FIEC–EIC Task Force “Ukraine”, developed in close cooperation with the Confederation of Builders of Ukraine (CBU), FIEC continues to support coordination, practical solutions and alignment with Europe’s standards and best practices.
In this statement, FIEC calls for: integrity-first reconstruction and open contracting; value for Europe and Ukraine with strong SME participation; alignment with EU standards and best-value procurement; stronger de-risking and financing tools; and a green, resilient rebuilding effort.
