Rishi Sunak and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky will open the session, before a speech from Denys Shmyhal, Ukraine’s prime minister. “As we’ve seen in Bakhmut and Mariupol, what Russia cannot take it will seek to destroy.

This is a vibrant, dynamic, creative, European country that refuses to be subdued.” Other speeches throughout the conference will focus on the scale of recovery, investment in Ukraine’s capital recovery and “building back better” in the energy sector.
