Russia's brutal war has left a trail of devastation in Ukraine, making housing a critical issue. With 1.4 million apartments, 135,000 individual homes, and 39,000 dormitory rooms damaged, many Ukrainians are now homeless.
This episode examines the contributions of the government, local authorities, and international organizations in addressing the housing crisis. We'll explore their approaches, discuss challenges faced by those displaced, and explain why Ukraine's housing sector needs radical changes, including the development of social housing and fair property taxes.
Join us as we delve into these pressing issues and uncover steps needed to rebuild homes for all Ukrainians.
About Ukraine the Possible Podcast
The Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine is a war of aggression by a fossil fuel imperialist, 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.
