A Ukrainian-Greek business forum was held in Kyiv to discuss the prospects of Greek business involvement in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine. Maryna Denysiuk, Deputy Minister of Communities and Territories Development, took part in the event.
The key focus of the discussion was cooperation in the maritime sector. Ukraine views Greece as a strategic partner in the restoration of maritime and port infrastructure, which is critical to stabilising the economy and ensuring global food security.

According to Maryna Denysiuk, Greece already plays an important role in ensuring the export of Ukrainian grain, in particular through the ports of Thessaloniki and Alexandroupolis. She stressed that the use of Greek logistics routes is an important contribution to countering the Black Sea blockade.
In the context of cooperation with international partners, Denysiuk also informed about the Plan for the reconstruction of Ukraine’s maritime communication with a budget of over €550 million, which was prepared jointly with Estonia and will be presented to the Greek side.
The forum was attended by representatives of ten Greek companies operating in the fields of energy, shipbuilding, infrastructure, logistics, and law. They presented their projects and opportunities to participate in the recovery of the Ukrainian economy.
