During 187 days of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, the occupiers destroyed, and continue to do so, everything in its path. They are turning our cities into ruins.
How much money is needed to restore Ukraine: an approximate figure from Zelensky
Thousands of rockets hit civilian cities, killing innocent Ukrainians and destroying civilian infrastructure. It will take a lot of money to rebuild the cities. Thus, Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke at the Movement of French Enterprises (MEDEF), and invited French companies to take part in the restoration of Ukraine after the war. During his address, he also named the approximate amount that is needed.
The President of Ukraine stressed that it is important to restore Ukraine after this war.
According to him, peace for Ukraine, guarantees of security and restoration of everything that the Russian invaders destroyed, will become clear evidence that the European idea is stronger than any dictatorships, and the values of freedom, equality and mutual assistance overcome any terror.
Chapter of our state named the approximate amount that Ukraine will need for restoration – 600 – 800 billion.
600 – 800 billion – this is what they said in Lugano. The amount was public, it was said that we believe that the destruction was of such volumes with proven analytics. In order to restore everything anew, approximately such volumes are needed,” Zelensky said.
At the same time, he emphasized that today it is difficult to say for sure, because the war has not ended and no one knows exactly how much money will be needed. So he says to focus on “quick things” – talking about smaller, but very necessary, amounts.
I would focus now on restoring certain infrastructure, in particular, educational, port, transport and residential,” the president summed up.
