Recovery Expenditures Funded by the Fund for the Elimination of the Consequences of Armed Aggression (2023)

The full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine has had a significant impact on Ukraine’s socio-economic development. The colossal damage to critical infrastructure, industry, and housing is estimated in billions of US dollars. Despite ongoing hostilities, the process of rebuilding the country has long been underway.

In October 2022, the Liquidation Fund for the Consequences of Armed Aggression (hereinafter referred to as the Fund) was established in Ukraine. Initially, the Ministry of Finance was designated as the primary manager of the Fund’s resources, but later this budget program was transferred to the Ministry of Communities, Territories, and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine (hereinafter referred to as the Ministry of Infrastructure).
