A year into the war, Ukraine and the West prepare for the biggest reconstruction since World War II​


  • The World Bank estimates that Ukrainian GDP shrank by 35% in 2022.
  • And projected in October that the population share with income below the national poverty line would rise to almost 60% by the end of last year.
  • In a statement Tuesday after a visit to Kyiv, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said she saw "an economy that is functioning, despite the tremendous challenges."
  • A recent estimate from the Kyiv School of Economics put the total damage to Ukrainian infrastructure at $138 billion, while President Zelenskyy has estimated that rebuilding the country could end up costing more than $1 trillion.

He's not wrong

Make the Ukraine war humanity’s last​

It's high time to stop and think - and focus not on the war and the weapons but on how to solve the underlying conflicts. A doctor doesn't focus on the pain but on what causes it. And the underlying conflicts is the key to a peaceful resolution that all sides can live with and, thereby, to sustainable peace and coexistence.

Russian forces are conducting an operation against a group of Ukrainian saboteurs that intruded across the border into Bryansk region, the Federal Security Service (FSB) said on Thursday.

In a statement, the service said that “the FSB and the attached forces of the Russian Ministry of Defense are taking measures to destroy armed Ukrainian nationalists who violated the state border” in the Klimovsky district of Bryansk region.

Earlier in the day, Aleksandr Bogomaz, the region's governor, said that a group of Ukrainian operatives had launched a raid into the area and that the group attacked a moving car, killing one person and injuring a ten-year-old child.

Some media reports suggested that the saboteurs also had taken several local residents hostage, a claim that has not been confirmed by local authorities.

Russia’s regions bordering Ukraine have been repeatedly attacked by Kiev's forces in recent months. On Thursday, Kursk governor Roman Starovoit wrote in a Telegram post that Ukrainian troops had shelled a local village. Kursk officials confirmed that one person was killed in the attack.
