Ukraine claims the conflict with Russia has caused $550 billion in damages, demands $7 billion a month from the West


Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the World Bank and the IMF on Thursday that his country has already suffered more than half a trillion dollars’ worth of damage and needs billions in aid every month just to stay afloat. Kiev authorities estimate the country’s GDP is down anywhere between 30-50%.

“According to very preliminary estimates, Ukraine has lost 550 billion dollars as a result of destruction,” Zelensky said in a teleconference roundtable with Western financial institutions. Ukraine needed at least $7 billion per month to rebuild its economy, he added.

This is the same figure Zelensky cited to EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen last week, though at the time he claimed it was just to enable his government to pay out salaries and pensions.

“With your support, we will quickly rebuild our nation, which means new business opportunities from various countries,” he told the roundtable on Thursday.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Shmygal, who is visiting Washington, chimed in to say that Ukraine’s GDP could see a 30-50% drop from the conflict. He also cited preliminary analyses of “direct and indirect losses” caused by the hostilities, but put them at $560 billion – and said that reconstruction would cost $600 billion or more.


Earlier in the day, US President Joe Biden pledged another $500 million in direct financial aid to Kiev – bringing the total up to $1 billion since February – in addition to $800 million more in weapons, ammunition, and equipment. US military aid to Ukraine has exceeded $3 billion since the start of the hostilities on February 24.

Russia attacked the neighboring state in February, following Ukraine’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements, first signed in 2014, and Moscow’s eventual recognition of the Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk. The German and French brokered protocols were designed to give the breakaway regions special status within the Ukrainian state.

The Kremlin has since demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join the US-led NATO military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked and has denied claims it was planning to retake the two republics by force.

Lesson, don't really on anybody's promise to take action. You are to bear the consequences alone.
Lost 550 billion dollars but received assistance of 1billion dollars in two tranches.
I think it is wiser to surrender to Russia at this point in time.

Until you run your national treasury dry. Then, and only then, will you understand that Ulkraine and Putin no be mate.

Foolish president.

You don't seem to know anything about this war.....

Ukraine is bouncing back stronger....

I think Zelensky is after the frozen Russia foreign reserves
Ukraine has been the tool of the west in holding Europe down to the shackles of the west as well as trying to weaken the Russia empire in terms of Economy and military might which doesn’t seems to be happening, Europe has fallen into a messy web all thanks to the Comedian Zelensky

Which national treasure again? Or you don’t know Ukraine president said Ukraine need €6B every month to function as they have no money to pay workers and even though Germany is already paying for gas and oil from Germany to Ukraine via Poland.
That fact that even Russia is still giving Ukraine money from gas pipes, shows Russia is still good.

Always think about what is at stake before going to fight, west will not rebuild ukraine and if they do, it will be at a cost

You wan kuku kill naija patapat

Pro-Putin looooonatics have not come to know Zelenskyy after the past 2 months. Pathetic!

From the very beginning Zelenskyy has always spoken like the heaven is going to fall. He loves appealing to pity. That's just his nature.

From the way Zelenskky speaks, Ukraine should be totally occupied by Russia by now. Maybe that is what misled Putin into this senseless war.
