how to rebuild the country in the midst of conflict?

It was the Dnipro psychiatric hospital (Ukraine): a three-storey building, hit by a Russian missile less than a month ago. It first burned, then collapsed. It will be razed, like 175 other hospitals in Ukraine. Rebuilding a country that is stronger than France will cost all the more because some towns, like Bakhmout, are almost 100% destroyed. Giant infrastructure is shattered, and dozens of power stations have been affected, as have 150 major bridges.

Needs estimated at 400 billion euros

On May 4, that of Dnipro was hit. The town hall has hired several million euros and a hundred workers to repair it immediately. Today, the bridge is open again, but Ukraine’s finances are bloodless. The needs are estimated at 400 billion euros. “Making Russia pay is an idea that we have heard a lot here, moreover 400 million Russian assets are currently immobilized in Western banks“, explains the journalist Alban Mikoczy.
