It remains unclear whether other members of the Trump administration will join Kellogg at the conference.

The annual series of high-level URCs – previously held in Lugano (2022), London (2023) and Berlin (2024) – aims to continue the global mobilization to support the reconstruction and modernization of the war-torn country, while also exploring the current economic, political and security landscape in Ukraine, assessing the key challenges.

The URC, a high-stakes event dedicated to the reconstruction of Ukraine during and after Russia’s war, will bring together government officials, international organizations, financial institutions, business leaders, municipalities, and other stakeholders to discuss how policy, business, and international engagement can shape a sustainable reconstruction, organizers told Kyiv Post.
