The ‘reconstruction’ of Ukraine in response to Russia’s brutal war of aggression began on the second day of the conflict and will continue for the foreseeable future. What was immediately obvious is that the challenge for policymakers – and for the Ukrainian people – goes far beyond reconstruction. They have to prepare Ukraine for a future within the European Union and in the context of a more hostile and competitive global environment. To face this challenge, they will need to help restore Ukrainian society as they rebuild and modernize the country’s infrastructure, industry, political institutions, and social services. They will also have to bring back the millions of people displaced by the conflict even as they help to heal the wounds – both physical and psychological – suffered by all those who have experienced the horrific violence that the Russian government unleashed. Building Ukraine back better will require a holistic approach that goes beyond conventional notions of post-conflict stabilization and takes into account the essential human dimension that the word ‘better’ necessarily entails.
