Why Ukraine’s Reconstruction Must Be Green
Ukraine's reconstruction amidst ongoing conflict necessitates a green transition to ensure resilience and geopolitical independence. The collapse of the Kakhovka Dam highlighted the environmental impacts of the war, emphasizing the need for sustainable recovery. Ukraine's pre-war climate efforts, including its participation in the European Green Deal, set the stage for a green transformation. The reconstruction plan must integrate environmental and climate policies, focusing on renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and modernized infrastructure. International support, particularly from the EU, is crucial for Ukraine's green renewal, aligning with its path to EU membership and enhancing geopolitical security.

Explaining Washington’s REPO Act that could kick-start the confiscation of frozen Russian assets
The U.S. adopted the REPO Act on April 20, allowing for the confiscation of frozen Russian assets to aid Ukraine. President Biden signed the act into law, addressing legal barriers such as Russia's sovereign immunity. The act targets assets held by the Russian Central Bank and other state entities but excludes those under diplomatic immunity. While the U.S. holds $4-5 billion in Russian assets, the majority are in Europe. The act calls for a multilateral approach with G7 and EU nations. The EU plans to use profits from frozen assets to support Ukraine, and the G7 has discussed using them as collateral for loans. The act's success depends on political will, particularly in Europe, to utilize the assets for Ukraine's benefit.

Mykhailo Fedorov Is Running Ukraine’s War Against Russia Like a Startup
Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine's 32-year-old vice prime minister, is leveraging startup-like agility and digital innovation to bolster the country's war effort against Russia. Under his leadership, the Ministry of Digital Transformation has developed critical tools like the air alert app and the Diia platform, while also mobilizing international support and donations through initiatives like United24. Fedorov's approach has attracted significant backing from global tech giants and has been instrumental in Ukraine's defense strategy, including the use of drones and cyber operations. The war has validated the Ukrainian government's vision of a tech-forward, transparent state, positioning Fedorov as a key figure in the country's future.

Foreign firms in Russia continue to help fund Putin's war
A report by the Kyiv School of Economics and B4Ukraine reveals that many multinational companies continued to pay taxes in Russia in 2022, indirectly funding the Kremlin's war efforts. Despite sanctions and economic pressures, only 17% of Western companies have fully exited Russia. The report highlights significant tax contributions from companies headquartered in G7 and EU countries, with US and German firms being the largest contributors. Tobacco companies like Japan Tobacco International and Philip Morris are among the worst offenders. The article also notes the challenges companies face in exiting the Russian market due to contractual obligations and government-imposed hurdles.

As Ukraine's birth rate plunges, here's what one doctor is doing to reverse the trend
Ukraine faces a demographic crisis exacerbated by the ongoing war with Russia, leading to a significant drop in birth rates. Dr. Stefan Khmil, an OB-GYN, is actively working to counter this trend by offering free reproductive services to military personnel, allowing them to preserve their reproductive cells. This initiative is supported by a new law signed by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The war has displaced millions, and the country's population has been declining since its independence in 1991. Experts highlight that Ukraine's demographic challenges are compounded by high mortality rates and emigration. The efforts of Dr. Khmil and others aim to ensure that Ukrainians can continue to have children despite the ongoing conflict, contributing to the nation's future rebuilding efforts.
