Abstract:
After victory, Ukraine should not simply rebuild old infrastructure and institutions but become a modern economy. Ukraine deserves to be sent the weapons it needs to win the war with a realistic timeline towards NATO membership in sight. Reconstruction should be human-centered, focusing on policies that will create jobs and make investments in social infrastructure. Donors are central in accompanying this effort though technical assistance, project preparation, financing and oversight. Financing can come in different forms: use of risk mitigation tools, seeding investment funds, possible EU solidarity tax, and seizing frozen Russian central bank assets
