Many Ukrainians have had to flee their homes due to the Russian invasion, and while some have left Ukraine altogether, plenty of others have fled to Western Ukraine. And it’s there that the Polish government has funded a “tiny house village” of prefab structures.
While most of the structures will only be used as temporary housing, plenty of the fleeing Ukrainians have lost their homes and will need permanent housing solutions. Perhaps in brighter days these cubes can be separated and reused on their own little lots.

VIDEO: Prefab Homes Built in Western Ukraine
Prefab housing for 350 internally displaced people (IDPs) has been constructed in Lviv, western Ukraine, as the city struggles to cope with a massive influx of people fleeing fighting in the south and east of the country. Mayor Andriy Sadoviy said some 50,000 IDPs would stay in the city longer term. Before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Lviv had a population of some 720,000.

I was thinking just about this a week into the war that Europe needed to start building large amounts of these so Ukrainians can go home.
They should be simple, well built enough to last decades they can live in while they rebuild their lives.
and we should use confiscated Russian government funds to pay for them, rebuilding Ukraine.
Their military has done a great job reducing Russia’s army to scrap every time they attack the Ukrainians though at great cost.
Glory to Ukraine. Drive what is left of the Russian army back to Russia!!
Funding housing using confiscated Russian funds is brilliant.
