#Ukraine, cost to rebuild pegged at $486 Billion over the next decade -estimates from collaborative assessments involving the Ukrainian government, the World Bank Group, the European Commission, and the United Nations, has been pegged at around **$486 billion** over the next decade. This figure reflects the damages from the conflict starting from February 24, 2022, up to December 31, 2023. 

Here's a breakdown of where this money would be needed:

- **Housing**: The largest chunk, at 17% of the total, due to about 10% of Ukraine's housing stock being damaged or destroyed.
- **Transport**: 15% of the costs, focusing on roads, bridges, and other transportation infrastructure.
- **Commerce and Industry**: 14% for the rebuilding of business facilities and industrial sites.
- **Agriculture**: 12%, due to the significant impact on agricultural lands and infrastructure.
- **Energy**: 10%, with energy infrastructure being a prime target during the conflict.
- **Social Protection and Livelihoods**: 9% for supporting displaced persons and those who've lost their jobs or livelihoods.
- **Explosive Hazard Management**: 7% to clear mines and unexploded ordnances, which is crucial for safe rebuilding and return of displaced populations.

Immediate needs for 2024 alone are estimated at $15 billion, with only about $5.5 billion currently secured from both Ukraine's resources and international partners. 

These figures are based on the latest available assessments and can fluctuate with ongoing developments in the conflict. The reconstruction costs also consider not just rebuilding what was but improving and modernizing infrastructure for a sustainable future.
