The Hidden Price Tag Financial and Political Costs of Ukraine in the EU

This panel examines the economic, financial, and political costs of Ukraine's EU accession. Our speakers will be focusing on the secretly drafted and recently leaked so-called "Prosperity Package": a 10-year plan to pour up to $800 billion into Ukraine's reconstruction and fast-track EU membership. The shiny promise? A "digitally enabled, fastest-growing" Ukraine that doubles GDP and thrives. The European reality? A gigantic bill forced on EU citizens, who never signed up for it. The panel will be discussing how realistic this package is, and what do Europeans really want.
