Ukraine’s scientific infrastructure, ravaged by Russia’s war, requires over $1 billion for reconstruction, says UNESCO. More than 1,400 scientific facilities and vital equipment have been damaged or destroyed, hindering research and dispersing scientists. Particularly concerning is the state of the Institute for Safety Problems of Nuclear Power Plants, posing safety risks. Before the war, Ukraine was renowned for contributions in various fields. UNESCO urges support for research to aid the country’s recovery. Restoring damaged facilities and essential equipment is estimated to cost $1.21 billion. Additionally, Ukraine’s culture and tourism sector have suffered significant losses, requiring nearly $9 billion for reconstruction over the next decade.
