Building the basis for recovery

September 05, 2022

Almost everybody agrees that the country’s recovery should begin now, not waiting till the end of hostilities, no matter how difficult and controversial the task may seem. There is also common understanding that, firstly, the country needs fundamental ideological and practical renewal of the socio-economic environment, secondly, the features and traits of the new country should fully comply with the tasks of European integration enshrined in the Constitution of Ukraine.

However, the vast majority of official documents, including the Government Plan of Ukraine’s Recovery, do not deal with ideological, political and institutional foundations of the country's renewal (what country we want to rebuild, and the vision of such renewed country), but contain a long list of particular facilities (infrastructural, production, logistic, humanitarian, etc., each of which requires huge funding), the emergence of which will allegedly lead to the desired result — creation of a new European country. However, despite real readiness to help Ukraine, no international investor has been inspired by the declared enormous funding and demonstrated real business activity.
