Legal aspects of postwar reconstruction and development of the state (Ukrainian experience)

The aim of this article was to analyze the legal basis of the postwar restoration of Ukraine, and to investigate the possible options, programs and plans for effecting this restoration. The following methods were used for the detailed study of this topic: comparative, legal-cognitive, logical-legal, hermeneutic, statistical, dialectical and formal-legal. The results of the research are the definition of basic concepts and terms, namely "reparations" and "war"; clarification of peculiarities of Ukraine's post-WWII reconstruction; research and analysis of Ukraine's post-war programs, strategies and plans of renewal, and; establishment of peculiarities and payment of reparations for Ukraine. The legal framework of Ukrainian reconstruction was also studied. It is concluded that, the integration of all existing opportunities in the world to assist Ukraine in its post-war reconstruction will facilitate Ukraine's accession to various international and European institutions, including the European Union. Also, the updating of new international acts regulating assistance to Ukraine and compensation from Russia will contribute to the improvement of the international legal framework, which in some respects has not changed since World War II.
