Ukraine reconstruction agreement enters into force
On 9 October 2026 the bilateral agreement between Switzerland and Ukraine entered into force, establishing a legal basis for Swiss companies to supply goods and services for Ukraine’s reconstruction. The agreement, part of Switzerland’s Ukraine Country Programme 2025–2028, enables private‑sector involvement, particularly in energy and infrastructure, and allows the Swiss Confederation to procure from Swiss firms through public tenders. It follows ratification by both governments and parliamentary approval in the 2026 summer session.
