France's new special envoy for reconstruction to visit Ukraine soon

The Minister Delegate for Foreign Trade and Economic Attractiveness, Nicolas Faurissier stated this in an interview with Ukrinform.

"France stands ready, upon request from Ukrainian authorities, to convene any extraordinary emergency meeting as it did on January 23rd, on top of the regular quarterly meetings. Ms. Muriel Lacoue-Labarthe, France's upcoming Special Envoy for Aid and Reconstruction of Ukraine, is already keeping a close eye on this issue," he noted.

He said that her appointment is already underway, and her first visit to Kyiv is expected to take place in the coming weeks.

As reported earlier, in March 2023 French President Emmanuel Macron appointed Pierre Heilbronn, former Vice President of the EBRD for Policy and Partnerships, as Special Envoy for Assistance and Reconstruction of Ukraine. In December 2025, Heilbronn stepped down from his post.
