According to the Reconstruction of Ukraine report released by the Warsaw Enterprise Institute (WEI) in November 2022, a minimum of 750 billion US dollars will be required over ten years to recover the country from Russia's war of aggression launched on 24 February 2022.

Securing such an amount of money will be an enormous challenge - even if $300b+ will come in the form of Russian assets that got frozen outside the country following its unlawful attack - not to mention putting it to effective use, which will include domestic and foreign coordination and control.

However brutal it might sound when bullets still fly, Ukraine can build back better - and stronger future-wise - as a modern EU economy within the country's pre-2014 borders and without self-serving oligarchisation and the corruption its sows, and crucially - free from Kremlin's meddling.
