In Ukraine, reconstruction efforts from Russia’s war could take “years and years, maybe even decades,” officials say.

Earlier this year, the World Bank assessed that the cost of reconstruction and recovery in Ukraine at, the country’s gross domestic product fell by nearly a third in 2022. This has forced Kyiv to rely on its Western allies, including the U.S., for billions of dollars in military and humanitarian aid to keep the country running.
Yevhen Pasenov, the deputy head of Kharkiv’s department of utility services, is responsible for infrastructure maintenance, including residential buildings. Since the war began, he’s also been involved in the city’s reconstruction efforts. “If we stop, it will cost two or maybe three times more to restore all these houses in a year or two,” as the elements contribute to the damage, he said, adding that it could take “years and years, maybe even decades” to rebuild the city.
