Ukraine’s Recovery Estimated at $230 Billion, Bloomberg Economics Reports

Ukraine will need an estimated $230 billion to rebuild its war-torn infrastructure and housing, but a massive $130 billion shortfall in pledged funding threatens the country’s recovery, Bloomberg Economics reported on February 13.

If sufficient financing is secured and a lasting settlement emerges, Ukraine’s energy, manufacturing, and construction sectors could experience a surge—ultimately easing the burden on EU nations.

At the same time, Ukraine caught the attention of US President Donald Trump with its vast reserves of critical minerals, including uranium, lithium, and graphite.

Bloomberg noted that the reconstruction estimates include investments from private corporations, governments, and international financial institutions such as the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

Securing peace is also a critical factor. Most European nations back Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s stance that any credible post-war peacekeeping force must include a substantial US presence.

However, France has pushed for a European-led effort, arguing that the continent cannot rely on Washington and must prepare to handle security independently.

Earlier, reports emerged that Keith Kellogg, the US President’s special envoy for Russia and Ukraine, will visit Germany, Belgium, and Ukraine from February 13 to 22 to advance the American leader’s goal of ending the Russian war against Ukraine and ensuring “peace through strength.”
