The once-thriving construction industry in Ukraine has ground to a near halt as the nation shifts into battling an invasion by Russia.
Before the incursion, which began Feb. 24, construction sites across the country were booming in many different sectors, according to Morgan Williams, president of the 200-member U.S.-Ukraine Business Council in Washington, D.C.
“There was a lot of construction in Ukraine — work on the highways, bridges, airports, offices and apartment buildings,” he told Construction Dive. “In 2021, there were huge public and private construction projects.”
