to plan for you craigs reconstruction, thousands of pros remain uninhabitable because of war damage, and the lack of work is to repair them. e w. meet some of those trying to rebuild. ah, i'm so gale. welcome to the program. motion forces are set to continue their offensive in east and ukraine after claiming victory unless it turns on sunday. you credit military withdrew from a strategically important 50000000 than a 100 screech and is now entirely under russian control. your credit is now braced for further attacks against the city of stuff you ask. the russian forces continue to push westwards. russ is expected to attempt to take control of done yet. that's along with the hands get makes up the why the done best region. you claims president landscape says he's country will recover the lost territory. a you re,

sac is an advisor to be a credit defense minister. i asked him about the significance of the loss of this chance for your crane and for your credit forces, temporary loss of any c, c, no matter how big or small temporary loss of every meter battery is significant. and this is why we, every time we have to temporarily leave certain areas or certain cities, we insist that we will be back on our president says that the gradient armed forces are committed to the occupied all the temporary occupied series. of course, this is chance is the last large city it will ask us what, what has to be noted is that today ukrainian armed forces are still in the region. so even though it is a very small part of aspiration,

but according to the records of the local parties, great in our forces are still a small part of land. right? and this, of course, comes with the loss of a matter of poland, significant ways of beast and ukraine. is this wall moving russia way? we don't believe this would be the right way because there are other areas of your crying which are temporarily occupied by the war criminals where you credit on forces are actually gaining ground and retake in certain areas. this is the south of your brain. got song region, this is the area around hockey, the 2nd 2nd largest city in ukraine. so this is a war, it's a very dynamic war. and of course, in those areas where russians have focused and concentrated all of that fire power, firing, tens of thousands of artillery shells a day. of course it is,

it makes sense for you credit on forces because we value human life to retreat temporarily. but in other areas we already counter attacking and providing we receive more heavy weaponry soon, we will be able to do it even more efficiently. i think it's your, bring us out about my next question, which what do you talk about these losses as being temporary? how do you reverse them? you reverse by receiving sufficient number of heavy artillery multi launch rockets, systems tanks, aircraft, air defense systems and iraq assistance. everything that our international partners have committed to provide us with. and you do it militarily. so you know, you've been saying that the same, so if i can put it that way for some months now, the bring us more heavy weaponry. and this, despite promises from the life of the united states,

the united kingdom and germany, to do just that. they just not arriving quick enough for you. some of the heavy weaponry that we have been promised by the united states, by germany, by the u. k, as already arrived in ukraine and is efficiently being used on the front lines. and we are very grateful to our international partners, all of those who have gathered in a drama spine at nato summit recently. and they have committed themselves wholeheartedly to support your military for as long as it takes what of course, you know, us and on the battlefield. we need, we understand that we need more heavy weaponry and we need a pasta. and we hope that our partners will find ways to deliver us this vital military assistance sooner rather than later. and so now, as russia secures its hold on the east of ukraine, where do you expect it to turn its, its fire power next?

what do you expect to its next target to be? well, 1st of all, russia has not yet established its hold on the east of your credit because there are still the misc region, and there are cities such as plenty ask they've been mentioned in your report earlier, there is a comma and there are very capable, highly motivated and professional ukrainian posted, which are located there and they will continue. i'm actually driving from a source most likely to be the next major. the next major object to move to objective of the rest and address. but the major, the key overarching military objective or bad grass, has always been to circle ukrainian forces in the east of ukraine and destroy them . and this has not happened. this is not happen because even from listed chance you've heard. and unfortunately, i've been able to retrieve without losses. so from that perspective, we understand where the next target will be. but we also understand that we are

doing everything we can in terms of facts and maneuvers to ensure that we include as much losses on our enemy as possible. and at the same time, we sustain as fewer water as possible. so clearly from the ukrainian side, this ain't over yet. you re sac advise ukrainian defense ministry. thank you so much for joining us. thank you so much like well, you kind sir, president zalinski says rebuilding the country will be a colossal job. so let's take a closer look at the scale of the damage. well, the 100 hospitals have been destroyed, damage to civilian infrastructure, is running out to more than an estimated 4 and a half 1000000000 euros per week. thousands of kilometers of roads have been wrecked and hundreds of bridges blown up the training officials for total economic losses from the war. more than 500000000000 euros. ukrainian officials and international leaders began a 2 day conference in the swiss city of nagondo today to drunk about with

a plan to fund ukraine's reconstruction after russia's devastating war. timothy marla van of is an economic adviser to president lansky. he's taking part in those talks in the governor and i asked him what ukraine hopes to get out of this conference. one or something, actionable platform or a mechanism of coordination of all activities and a around you're creating something which will streamline the process b, a sense of urgency in the mountains of people that funding is needed and i see is a number you know, and number a common knowledge number and agreed upon number of how much funds are needed and for what purpose. ok, so and as i understand it, the plan for today's meeting is not to actually raise those funds to, but to effectively look at how they would be used, how ukraine would be rebuilt. that is correct. so there's overall understanding

that funds are needed and the partners very sympathetic are there are a lot of questions about the priorities mechanisms, architecture, transparency, governance, corruption. no, all those issues have to be addressed and they have to be addressed now. and this is what the conference is about, and many would look at this and say, well, isn't the too soon to be talking about reconstruction, while bombs are still dropping while a war is still raging? that's exactly one of the questions which was discussed today on, you know, isn't it too early? let's wait until after the war. and the government comes forward with a 2 different approaches to different numbers. one is what's needed now to maintain the economy and they call it rapid recovery. and the number is about $65000000000.00 and that includes hospital schools, bridges, which need to be recovered now for the economy to continue to operate. and then there is a number of what happened officers of war,

right. and we'll continue to focus on after the war because it is an intriguing question here, which, which is well, doesn't it rather depend on who wins and what a win looks like. because it's pretty simply, is this plan likely to happen if these are the funds likely to flow? if russia is in charge of ukraine? absolutely, this is the question. all of this is predicated on victory and got a number of speakers today at the conference made it crystal clear that we need to support ukraine now, both financial in terms of weapons so that their construction a cheaper be make sense at all. of course, your weapon ton of course come in. we might be in a situation, there's not much to recover, right. so you absolutely correct. right. so the defense and the plan that depends on presume would be then just looking at what victory might look

like. would that depend on russia giving up the territory that it has taken? well, you know, russia is not going to give up anything. so it has to be taken away from russia. or this should be, you know, there are essentially a couple of our outcomes. one can think of one is that your brain will be able, was helpful to international partners and friends to recover territories or ukraine won't be able immediately to recover this territories. but some will be on the front lines with the belie somewhere. and this was a discussion to what happens if the front lines but belies for a while and below where it becomes protracted prolong, how should we go about this? and so there are multiple scenarios. as timothy timothy minivan of his economic advisor, president zalinski and former ukrainian economy minister will take a quick look now at some stores away from the war. and
