"Russian aggression has caused a lot of destruction. But as the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, emphasizes, we will definitely restore everything. Some projects can be financed already. In the general perspective of post-war reconstruction, Ukraine will probably become the largest construction site in the world," the head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed.
