On July 10–11, 2025, the Fourth Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC) was held in Rome, bringing together EU, US, and international leaders. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, US Special Envoy John Kellogg, and leaders from Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, and other nations agreed on a recovery plan. The EU committed €2.3 billion in aid, including €1.5 billion in direct support and €800 million for infrastructure and energy projects. Over 40 agreements with private companies were signed. Germany is supplying Patriot and IRIS‑T air defense systems, and the US is resuming deliveries of Javelins and HIMARS. The Rome Memorandum was adopted to affirm continued support, Ukraine's EU candidate status was reaffirmed, and negotiations are expected in 2026. The conference highlighted Western unity and growing private sector involvement in Ukraine’s recovery.
