The works to restore Ukraine after hostilities come to an end may begin as early as the second half of 2025, Polish government representative for Ukraine's restoration Pawel Kowal said.
"It now seems that everyone is preparing for the reconstruction next year, that it will begin soon. In my estimation, it will begin in the second half of next year," he said.
In April 2024, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk signed a decree establishing the Council for Cooperation with Ukraine, a public body that would deal with bilateral relations and reconstruction.
Pawel Kowal, former Polish ambassador to Ukraine, was appointed the Polish government`s commissioner for Ukraine's recovery in early 2024, after Prime Minister Donald Tusk came to power.
