Abstract

The article presents a comparative analysis of the transport infrastructure characteristics in Ukraine and neighbouring countries. It outlines the fundamental shortcomings and challenges in the development of domestic transport infrastructure before the war, highlighting their impact on the socioeconomic situation in Ukraine. The article further analyzes preliminary estimates regarding the damage inflicted on the transport infrastructure due to hostilities. In light of the these findings, the conclusion is drawn that the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine’s transport infrastructure should adhere to key principles such as multimodality, flexibility, connectivity, sustainability, technology, inclusiveness, productivity, and value creation. The author recommends priority measures for restoring the road, rail, air, and water transport infrastructure, considering both current requirements and future trends. The article substantiates the possibility and necessity of involving international organizations and private businesses in the process of post-war reconstruction of Ukraine’s transport infrastructure.
