At the NATO summit in Vilnius starting Tuesday, the transatlantic military alliance will plan the future of Western support for Ukraine, including a multiyear assistance package and upgraded political ties. Repelling Russia's invasion will be top of mind. But longer-term security decisions will be just as important—if not more so—to Ukraine's future, after the fighting stops. In planning for Ukraine's postwar reconstruction, security arrangements have been the neglected element.

Hostilities in Ukraine are ongoing, but it is not too early to consider post-war reconstruction. Indeed, the United States and Europe have already begun planning what will probably be the most ambitious post-war rebuilding effort in modern history. Ukraine’s effort will be far different from recent post-war reconstruction efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ukraine is a European state, and the war was unifying, not divisive.

Post-war reconstruction in Ukraine may be the largest rebuilding effort in modern history. The United States and Europe have started to plan for its success. Over the past 75 years, they have been engaged in multiple reconstruction efforts. Drawing lessons from the most appropriate of these efforts will be important for planning Ukraine's reform and reconstruction. In this century, the most notable U.S. reconstruction efforts were in Iraq and Afghanistan, but these are not the right models.
