Forget the picturesque river and cultural attractions - Irpin is a city in the throes of rebuilding after heavy damage from the 2022 Russian invasion. With around 53,361 residents as of the latest count, it's a far cry from the pre-war population of 65,167. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, as the city works to "Build Back Better" with help from international architects and planners. While the resilience of locals is admirable, those seeking a tranquil Ukrainian idyll may want to look elsewhere.
