The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy calls for it, with the reconstruction of the country not to wait until the end of the Russian war of aggression. Much must be done immediately, Zelenskyj emphasized in his daily video speech on Monday evening. In the areas from which Russian troops had been driven out, tens of thousands of houses had been destroyed. You also have to prepare for the winter now, with a view to the energy supply, among other things.
The first major conference on the reconstruction of Ukraine is currently taking place in Lugano, Switzerland. Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Schmyhal estimated there on Monday that this at least 750 billion dollars (almost 720 billion euros) are necessary.
