ReBuild Ukraine: neoliberal reforms, energy and post-war pathways
by Olena Lyubchenko
Read the new short report by our affiliate researcher Olena Lyubchenko examining trends in Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction. The report analyses the November 2023 ReBuild Ukraine Powered by Energy Exhibition in Warsaw, Poland, and it is part of a broader investigation into Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction.
The report highlights Ukraine’s alignment with the European Green Deal, emphasising renewable energy, energy independence, and infrastructure development. It also focuses on attracting private investment through conferences and partnerships with financial institutions and Western governments.
- How will the emphasis on privatisation affect public goods?
- Does the plan create a truly “risk-free” development environment?
- Will reconstruction reinforce financial and technological dependencies?
- Could resource transfers occur from Ukraine to Europe?
- How does it affect the humanitarian sector?
