Prof. Maksym Melnychuk

Ukrainian academic and administrator, formerly Governor of Kyiv Oblast — a region that has been both a front line and a test bed for rebuilding under war.

His subject is reconstruction as a practical matter: who pays, who decides locally, and what has to be standing before private capital will come back.

In Lugano he closed the first day with a fireside chat on the reconstruction of Ukraine, in conversation with Antonio Di Bella.
