Economic recovery. human capital. infrastructure. innovation. military conflictAbstract
Purpose: The study aims to study socio-economic challenges and identify potential ways to restore the economy damaged by the war.
Design/Methodology/Approach: This study employed a mixed-methods quantitative and qualitative approach. The quantitative data were obtained from publicly available national and international databases, including the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF), Ukrainian State Statistics Service, and Reports from NGOs and humanitarian agencies. The study combined statistical and content analysis to assess Ukraine's socio-economic challenges due to the military conflict.
Research Limitation: The military conflict is ongoing, and socio-economic challenges are continually evolving. Data collected at a certain time may not fully capture the long-term impacts or future developments.
Social Implication: The article examines the need to integrate innovative approaches into the recovery process by implementing long-term strategies that create conditions for attracting international investments.
Practical Implication: The study's results emphasise the importance of the participation of international cooperation, the effective use of investments and the development of human capital to achieve sustainable economic growth.
Originality/Value: Military conflicts leave deep crises in the structure of national economies, causing significant damage to infrastructure and human capital and creating severe socio-economic challenges. The research problem is to identify the economic recovery mechanism after the end of military operations in Ukraine.
