In a joint assessment released today, the Government of Ukraine, the European Commission, and the World Bank, in cooperation with partners, estimate that the current cost of reconstruction and recovery in Ukraine amounts to $349 billion (€349 Billion). This figure is expected to grow in the coming months as the war continues.
The report found that recovery and reconstruction needs across social, productive, and infrastructure sectors total $349 billion, which is more than 1.5 times the 2021 GDP of Ukraine. Over the next 36 months the RDNA assesses that $105 billion is needed to address urgent needs such as restoring education and health systems and infrastructure, preparing for the upcoming winter through restoration of heating and energy to homes, support to agriculture, and repair of vital transport routes. The safe management of debris and explosives, including landmines, also pose a substantial cost.

They have about that amount in frozen russian assets. I suggest and hope they choose to use them.
Same here, except our political leaders are spending us into oblivion supporting Zelenskyy.
The bill must go to the Putin regime and anyone who dares to meet with those pariahs.
He doesn't recognize the World Bank.
Probably double Ukraine’s total Net Asset Value before the invasion. At this price point, countries should be begging to be invaded and bailed out by the USA every couple of years.
There’s only one here yelling into an echo chamber...
And the GOP wants to cut Social Security. McConnell and the GOPe are about the worst people in US History to be sent into power. They are an operating party for the enemy. Complte controlled opposition.
Of course it will happen. We’re going to take Russian money and use it to repair what these fagg*ts destroyed in Ukraine.
Justice will win!
Meanwhile, the self-sabotaging GOP is making noises about cutting Social Security and Medicare programs.
Post a list of these 'Russian war criminals' that are posting on FReep. You get more delusional with every post.
The Russian war criminals, including those posting on Free Republic, will pay reparations for the destruction of Ukraine

Too early in the day to be drinking.
I love this estimate of rebuilding costs when the war is ongoing and destruction still continuing. Just like they need X billions to repair the energy grid, which can just be destroyed immediately.
I saw that. I’m curious about that list as well.
That was my thought too. Let’s wait to see what’s left of Ukraine before talking about rebuilding.
Despite their uniform, they’re playing for the other team.
Give Ukraine the hundreds of billions of frozen russian assets
