Abstract:
The purpose of the article is to analyze the international experience of countries in the period of post-war recovery, to determine the main factors that influenced the development of the economy, and to form a plan for the reconstruction and development of our country on the basis of the data obtained. Ukraine during 2014–2021 suffered from aggression in the east of the country implemented by gangs funded by the Russian Federation, all this had a significant impact on all sectors of the country’s economy, but in early 2022 Russia resorted to a full-scale intervention, which led to enormous human casualties, destruction of social infrastructure, the industrial complex and the economy as a whole. Now it is not individual regions that suffer from armed aggression, but the territory of the entire country, a significant part of which is occupied, while strikes from various types of weapons occur in most regions on daily basis. Although the fighting is not over yet, and the scale of the consequences and losses is already difficult to calculate, but after the end of the war there will come a period of recovery, so it would be advisable to analyze in advance the historical events of the past and study the experience of the countries of the world, which suffered destruction during wartime and hostilities. The article considers the practice of reconstruction and economic development of the country in the post-war period. The main factors for ensuring economic growth of countries such as West Germany, Japan, Italy, South Korea and Israel have been identified. The authors analyzed the means, having implemented which, it will be possible to develop an action plan for the reconstruction of the economy and realize the potential of Ukraine’s development. The draft State Budget of Ukraine for 2023 and plans to raise funds to finance the country’s economy by international organizations and foreign governments are considered. Examples of post-war recovery of Ukraine, which have been introduced by the government and are already being implemented, are presented in order to stabilize the country’s economy now and restore the destroyed country in the future.

Keywords: post-war recovery, Russian-Ukrainian war, economy development, social policy, international economic relations.
