Russia's invasion of Ukraine persists, bringing with it widespread destruction of homes and infrastructure. Debates on post-war reconstruction have quieted, shifting focus towards reconstruction during wartime. The urgency to rebuild quickly arises from the necessity to provide essential services to citizens and sustain economic functioning. 

Is the government doing enough for reconstruction, and what are the primary obstacles?

About Ukraine the Possible Podcast

The Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine is a war of aggression by a fossil fuel empire, so the peoples of Ukraine have no choice but to resist. In the podcast, we discuss the war and its impact, as well as the historical context of transformations, crises and inequality. Despite the tragedy, Ukrainian society has demonstrated its ability to dialogue and cooperate, and its potential for a more just, inclusive and diverse future. And this future requires international solidarity.
