fter Ukraine: A Practitioner's Handbook for Ceasefire Verification, Recovery and Reconstruction is a 500-page professional reference work examining the practical challenges that follow a cessation or reduction of major hostilities in Ukraine.
Rather than treating a ceasefire as a single political event, the book examines the institutions, evidence, infrastructure, financial mechanisms and operational decisions required to move from an agreement on paper toward sustainable recovery.
The handbook covers ceasefire monitoring and verification, incident evidence, reporting and attribution, cyber and critical-infrastructure resilience, reconstruction planning, contracting, finance, insurance, sanctions change-control, property and recovery mechanisms, technology, comparative historical cases, and professional decision-support methods.
The book combines documented analysis with clearly identified hypothetical scenarios designed to test how decisions might work in practice. It distinguishes established facts, attributed claims, analytical inference and scenario-based teaching material rather than presenting uncertain future outcomes as predictions.
Practitioner-focused sections include an executive brief, verification and monitoring protocol, contracting and delivery toolkit, insurance framework, sanctions change-control methodology, comparative documentary cases, source and instrument registers, blank practitioner templates, evidence-assurance methods and seminar exercises.
Written for policymakers, security and resilience professionals, infrastructure operators, consultants, researchers, executives and institutional readers, After Ukraine provides a structured framework for understanding the first hundred days and the longer transition from conflict toward recovery.
Key topics include: ceasefire verification; monitoring and evidence; critical infrastructure; cyber resilience; reconstruction; recovery finance; insurance; sanctions; contracting; international security; institutional resilience; post-conflict recovery; professional analysis; and practitioner methods.
