Oleksandr Kubrakov, former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure, discusses the importance of a long-term economic strategy for Ukraine's recovery post-invasion. He emphasizes the need for independent growth, regulatory reform, and a focus on key sectors.
Oleksandr Kubrakov, co-founder of the We Build Ukraine think-tank and former Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration of Ukraine (2022-2024) and Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine (2021-2022), outlines a plan for Ukraine's economic reconstruction in the wake of Russia's invasion. While acknowledging the role of U.S.
investment in bolstering Ukraine's economy and security, Kubrakov emphasizes the need for a comprehensive and independent economic strategy to ensure long-term stability and integration with the European Union. He argues that economic reconstruction is not merely about growth, but about survival, pointing to the need to overcome years of political instability and a lack of a cohesive economic vision. Kubrakov highlights the resilience of Ukraine's private sector, which has thrived despite the war, playing a crucial role in national defense and showcasing record profits. He stresses the urgent need for a long-term strategy to guide Ukraine's recovery, drawing on his experience in leading state-owned enterprises and implementing targeted reforms that yielded significant financial gains. Kubrakov founded We Build Ukraine, a think tank that brings together businesses, financial institutions, Ukrainian government officials, and foreign leaders to develop sector-specific solutions. He believes that regulatory reform and business incentives, combined with a disciplined approach to tackling corruption, will be key to transforming Ukraine's economy and securing its long-term future.
