It's now official: the next Ukraine Recovery Conference, URC 2026, will be hosted by Poland. Paweł Kowal, the Polish government's coordinator for support to Ukraine, extended an invitation to all nations to join the conference in Poland, urging them to "do the homework" in the meantime. He also reiterated that "the doors for Ukraine to membership the European Union are open." Poland's strong delegation in Rome underscored its commitment, with organizations like OBMIN actively working to ensure culture remains a central theme in the URC discussions. The move to Poland for URC 2026 is set to be a powerful testament to the country's ongoing support for Ukraine.

Impressive opening of the Ukraine Recovery Conference URC2025 in Rome with very clear messages of Europe’s leaders:

• we can stop the darkness and build the future - Giorgia Meloni
• Europe will be on your side as long as it takes - Ursula von der Leyen
• we will not give up - Friedrich Merz
• there is no recovery without victory - Donald Tusk
• a country without people would just be a memorial - OlenaZelenska

Great words. Now Ukraine needs deeds - for its people, for the country and for its culture
