Ask HN: How can I support Ukraine’s reconstruction?

I feel compelled to move to Ukraine once some semblance of peace returns (inshallah) in order to help rebuild all that’s been lost. From a technology perspective, what jobs/services/products do you think will be valuable?

As a follow up, if resettling in Ukraine is not possible, what are some meaningful ways to support reconstruction?

if you are moving to Ukraine, you could hire a contractor?

I suspect the answers to this will depend heavily on how this all ends.

Certainly. I’m assuming that much of Ukraine will remain in Ukrainian hands. I’m wondering what the immediate needs of a post-war society are.

Yes definitely. I’m also curious to know, what are Ukrainian software contractors doing now? And assuming this war ends, what, if anything, will they need to rengage with foreign companies?
