The Warsaw Security Forum is an annual international platform that, since the start of Russia's aggression against Ukraine with the invasion of Crimea in 2014, has placed countering Russia as an aggressor at the centre of its agenda. The forum brings together government representatives, international institutions, think tanks, and policy and defence experts.
Europe faces a long-term financing challenge in Ukraine that extends far beyond reconstruction, with recovery needs estimated at almost $588 billion over the next decade. Ukraine's victory and recovery are inseparable European strategic interests, and the approximately €290 billion in immobilised Russian central bank assets is the only currently available pool of capital remotely comparable in scale to this challenge.
