Vast regions of war-torn and occupied territories will require significant demining, The Hill notes, which will include clearing farmland, fields, and neighborhoods of deadly bombs, roadblocks, and landmines.
In addition, when determining the parameters of Ukraine’s recovery, the social factor should also be considered because, in addition to the physical destruction and direct victims of the war, the lives of many families have become unstable due to Russian attacks, financial problems, and grief from the loss of loved ones. Another essential problem is the impact of war on children, their education, and their psychological state.
As for the cost of recovery, according to World Bank estimates, costs from the physical rebuilding of industry, infrastructure, schools, and residential areas alone could reach almost $500B. The European Union and the United Nations provide similar estimates.
