  1. The Ukrainian Parliament must start making its post war plans for: building a barrier border with Russia, clean up of munitions, debris clean up, reconstruction, and modernization. These areas each need their own specific plans. For example: 1-Barrier Border With Russia: this is a 3000M to 5000M security zone. All roads crossing it will be destroyed and replaced by Anti-Armor traps. All railways crossing it will be destroyed for 25K. A cyclone fence, multiple layers of barbed wire, an access/maintenance pathway, electric fence, minefields, camera fields, and fighting positions have to be built. No Ukraine-Russian air travel will occur. Only a ferry at Mariupol next to a Russian War On Ukraine Memorial will be allowed. 2-Reconstruction has many parts. Temporary housing housing could come from the purchase of 3 million RVs (US). New quick replacement housing could come from a German folding house company whose product can be installed on a cement slab on Day 1 including the roof. It can be furnished with a kitchen, and bath on Day 2. It is designed for IKEA furniture. An alternative is a Dutch firm using a “Lego Style” block construction. It takes a day to assemble on a cement slab. The roof and exterior takes another day. Plumbing , electrical, kitchen, and bath a 3RD day. Finishing interior walls a 4TH day, and furniture with move in a 5TH day. Large apartment blocks could take about 9 months is modular construction is used. Then there is infrastructure including all signage in Ukrainian to build. All the bridges on the Dnipro River need to be replaced with drawbridges rising to the west. The post war Ukrainian Military has to be planned for 300,000. 2/3RDs will have to be Reserve or National Guard forces to cut costs. This mean Oblast based Units with dual missions like in the US. There are many factors to consider. 3-Modernization also has many parts and should be coordinated with Reconstruction, like the drawbridges. Other areas include: electrical infrastructure compatible with the EU; relaying all railways to EU standard gauge and replacing the wheels on all rolling stock; modernizing Ukraine’s port system and Black Sea waterways; and setting up Ukraine own satellite communications system or integrating with EU satellites. These are huge areas of responsibility with many smaller pieces of varying interest in different parts of Ukraine. Plans have to be made so refugees can return as quickly as areas are safe and services restored.
