Poland, Finland, France and the Czech Republic, together with the European Commission, have agreed to launch an investment package to finance Ukrainian dual-use initiatives. The total amount of funding is €175 million.

This was announced by the Polish Government Commissioner for the Reconstruction of Ukraine, Pawel Kowal. According to him, the project is aimed at supporting both civilian needs and strengthening Ukraine’s defense resilience.

The initiative is being implemented with the participation of key state financial institutions of the participating countries. In particular, Poland has involved Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego (BGK), the Czech Republic has involved the National Development Bank, Finland has involved Finnvera, and France has involved Bpifrance.

The funding will be directed to Ukrainian dual-use projects — those that simultaneously provide civilian infrastructure and strengthen the state’s defense capabilities. This approach allows combining economic recovery with increased security.

A special role in the launch of the initiative was played by the participation of Poland, which was made possible by the new credit mechanism within the framework of the Ukraine Facility program. This instrument officially started operating at the end of March 2026.

Within the framework of the program, it is envisaged that investments will be directed to the development of infrastructure projects that have a dual purpose. They combine the restoration of civilian facilities with increasing the resilience of critical systems.

Thus, the new EU financial package should not only provide short-term support to Ukraine, but also lay the foundation for a long-term partnership in the field of infrastructure, economic development and security.
