every day we see the devastation brought by russia to ukraine. the people of ukraine are enjoying every power off from every direction. from the sky, fire rains from the ground, they watched the talent talons sink. i'm the water rush of fires. miss silas innocent civilians for no other reason. reason than one man's delusional attempt to restore a lost empire. but to every day we see also something else. and that is what i witness 1st had when i last visited the country just over months ago. i saw a country that does everything possible to rise from the ashes of the war everyday. ukrainians show us what they are fighting for and what they are dying for

. they show it on the battlefield. they show its on the streets. they show it in the classrooms. they are fighting for their future. for ukraine, free from russian and vegas for ukraine. that's the size. it's own destiny. far we ukraine, rebuild, and revitalized in just over a year. ukrainians have cleared the rubble from 2000 kilometers on roads, rebuilt over 40 bridges, renewed to 900 train stations and vapours. and all of this while fighting a war for their own survival. but you pray and so not just restoring what use to be they show us how they are already re shaping the country

the ukrainians. re imagining the future um its all the last, the pain and the suffering. let me tell you about your pin school number. 17 truck miller, dennis, the damage the schools roof, destroyed its walls, broke all its windows and destroyed the heating system. and so when children came back to the lessons they did so in and imaginable cold until a local n g o stepped in with a simple and creative solution. they installed solar panels on the roof. so children could learn in one small but meaningful use of clean energy to revitalize everyday life is just one example of how ukraine is not just rebuilding, but re imagining itself. ukraine has done this with

a bravery. they have inspired us with a ingenuity and they have all the us with the way they are transforming the country in pursuit of the dream. and do you have friends? it is this stream of a clean or green or more modern ukraine? that will be the last thing, legacy of this atrocious war. and it is our responsibility to make it happen because you're training and are fighting not just for the solver entity, but we've just heard it also for us, for our values, for our freedom, for our democracy. we can never match the sacrifice. but we can, we do, oh,

stands united for the natives and resolute that ukraine must win, will win and has our support not just for as long as it takes to secure peace. but for our country they are imagining a country that detracts for an investment. a country that as much of its future a country that is a member of the european union together . we will support ukraine, not as individual nations, but as a co ordinated community, organized under innovative platform. a platform that will channels support to the re phones and priorities that will make imagination reality

together we get together. we gather here to tell ukrainians that the dream is also our dream. in january, we all created the so called multi agency don't according nation platform. it is a 1st of its kind in the history of international 8. it brings together ukraine, the g 7, the european union, the european investment by the european bank for reconstruction and develop and the i m f and the world bank. it creates a single focal point for international donors to guarantee that support goes exactly where ukraine needs at most. the commission is contributing 18000000000 euros are ready this year and together with other donors,

we closed ukrainians budget gap for 2023. so that ukraine can continue to pay salaries, pensions, and for example, for the health care. this is for ukraine's immediate needs. but let's talk about the future. i believe the european union has a special responsibility. and the reason is simple. we heard the president ukrainians tell us that when they imagined their future, they see europe's flag flying over the cities. and i have no doubt that ukraine will be part of our union. so today the, today i want to a known to use the 1st this about ukraine's re phones and it's past what's your membership this fight the war?

ukraine has accelerated its reform agenda with impressive speed and results when the european union want too much efforts and dedication. and this is why today the european commission presents a new oral update on the progress ukraine made onto additional reform on the anti corruption on new laws for media freedom and international minorities. for example, with these reforms, ukraine also sends a powerful message to private investors. they will get the transparency, the fairness and the functioning institutions they need to invest in ukraine. and this is especially important because we need the private sector to step into because it is you the private sector with your invalid,

you level expertise and you'll find actual fire power that will help you train realize it's dreams. you are here today at this conference. and we really need you, and we know we can rely on you. and that brings me to my last point. we want to match ukrainian reforms with european investments. for every step ukraine takes towards us. the european union must take a step towards ukraine. yesterday the european commission proposed to create a new facility for ukraine within the budget delta european union. it will ensure constant financial support to 2027. the facility will be financed in 3 ways. with plans from the european budget,

with loans raised on capital markets. and eventually, with proceeds from the mobilized russian assets. we will come with a proposal for these assets before the summer break, because the perpetrator has to be held accountable. the know what all the estimate to me until 2027. ukraine's remaining fiscal. gov is about 60000000000 euros. the needs full fast recovery on top. are about 50000000000 euros. that makes sense. total. 110000000000 euros until 2027. that and not covered therefore, yesterday i propose to

e u. member states to cover 45 percent of this guy. this is in total, 50000000000 euros for ukraine. we will do putting on the corresponding plan and we heard the 1st outlines of the planet. more details will come today for investments and reform. this plan could become an anchor for all international donors, including the private sector. you need predictability, your needs clarity, you need transparency. this will help our call the nation, and will maximize our impact. and this is what i mean when we say we are with ukraine for as long as it takes. ladies and gentlemen. voting shepard's peace on i'll come to an end on february

24th in 2022. but teach treego. it's also ukraine's journey towards that street. and it's our job and our duty to the ukrainians who pays the ultimate sacrifice. that to ensure that this re imagine future becomes reality break by break house by house school, by school together we are by you point side for the long haul slumber. your brain, the 100 everybody. um, as you own the yeah, the 60 months ago russian troops launched a bruce with invasion that has brought tara bloodshed a language here. you're looking in there at the live video as london is hosting an

international conference to raise funds and, and rebuild ukraine. we took the live speeches there of european commission president priscilla, phone or line ukrainian president followed him is the landscape and british prime minister wishes to knock officials from around the worlds are gathering there in london to address ukraine's immediate and long term rebuilding needs. so let's get a little bit more now about what was discussed. what is expected out of this conference. becket masses in london, and it connelly joins us from keith. we're good. tell us a little bit more and perhaps we can begin. first with the speech of british prime minister wishes to knock, what did you make of it? i mean, it was, it was quite up lifting, wasn't it? it was very uplifting. he gave the basically into spirit of optimism, all the qualities of ukraine and talking about the technology sector that had been driving before the war and how the ukraine economy had been driving. of course, we know that they took a big hit,

29 percent when russia attacked the country. but i think one message that stands out in all these 3 speeches, by prime minister, assumed not by commission president funder line and also by of loud music. lensky is this message of unity ready? all of them are making clear that ukraine b looms in europe and belongs in the west end road music lensky. get this impassioned speech that he wanted to bring across. that's uh, obviously ukraine cannot win the will complete the loan, but also it cannot win the peace of line. so you can really needs this international support on this conference is, is about the details. how exactly uh, international organizations, and particularly international businesses. how are they coming to support you crying and the show to them while the was still ongoing, but also in the long term off to the wall for lensky himself saying rebuilding ukraine is a global task next year there in cave. how would people there be looking at what is

happening today and, and what is being discussed on the gremlins terms to basically allow the rest the world to return to business as usual. that didn't happen that and i think you heard from present, zaleski this point over and over again, that this is not just about ukraine's fight, that this is about the success of liberal democracy in the why the world that if you frame fails, that also has very real impacts direct impacts but also kind of consent to impacts for your democracies and democracy. milwaukee. that, that is the reason why these outside countries should be supporting ukraine, not just to keep this country going, but he also hinted at security, right?

there is no the kind of finance and the world is not going to encourage outside investors or the insurance is not going to really change their minds unless ukraine has some kind of perspective. unless there is some kind of security guarantee or even nature membership that would really make it clear that basically ukraine status was clear and safe. and the repetition of the kind of russian invasion, the scene of the last year and a half isn't on the count. nick, tell us, i mean one of the things that once you also mentioned in his speech was the, the efforts and the attempts to dismantle the old oligarch model in the country. i mean, is universally acknowledged among allies and, and, and partners that there is much work to be done within ukraine itself in order to, to bring it in line. for example, you know, with, with the systems you values, tell us a little bit more about what is happening there. i'm, it's the fighting. we have to say because it's, it's quite a challenging environment to do all of these things at once. certainly,

and there is a real sense that lots of the structural forms that west apartments have been demanding and of ukraine for years in return for finance have been put on the back . but not understandably, while this war rages in terms of the kind of fully got to use to dominate not only ukraine's economy, but also it's media. lots of those figures have actually lost a lot of importance during this will because basically the war has been fort in the bits of ukraine where the heavy industry, the support of those business implies was base. so place like mary pole, that was one of the main steel making centers of ukraine is now in rubble and under russian control. most of the places i've had to deal with and it g blackouts and haven't been able to produce. so basically the kind of economic basis for these people who are basically dominated by their new ukraine's economy, but also politics since independence that has changed fundamentally. but there is a very real question about corruption. how well west the money would be used and visiting to vote from a zalinski and others. the digital technology will enable more clarity, more transparency, that it would be more difficult to kind of siphoned off funds,

things, lo steps. and so even in ukraine that the government means business and would be tough on people accuse a correction in its own rights. and then there's also just a big question of this huge sums we've heard just from in the last few hours from a toby for an official who was actually crucial in the might on revolution. back then, he was a journalist. you think the, some of the so big the government just doesn't have the capacity to necessarily, you know, do due diligence to fill out all the forms and to make clear this money is being used well. the money, the ukraine received off 2014 of to russia, invaded crimea, and started those conflicts. and these, the country that was less than 10 percent of what's being discussed right now. so it really is a huge and disco challenge, but certainly the grains, okay. that this rebuilding has to stop while this war is going on. they can't wait for some kind of deal, which we don't know how long will take with russia because they really need to make sure that you craniums that are still here. have what and that the ones who left the country have a real reason come back. another huge some we have to mention, which was, you know, brought into the speech in the conversation by the commission president or so the

funder line was 110000000000 euros needed until 2027 empirical. we learned that this, this number is actually not covered yet. so tell us a little bit more about, you know, how the participating countries in this, in this, in this conference and also private business are, are being encouraged to invest into rebuilding ukraine while the war is still ongoing. it's a pretty risky investment, isn't it? is bottom there is goodwill all around or at least this is what the participants of this conference prime minister student of the knows the commission president from the line. this is the message that they want to bring a course. now the commission, the european commission has actually aust, the european member states if they can increase the budget because they want to help you cry. and so this is one example of what individual governments can do. but what do you k is pushing for at this conference is to get private businesses

involved and they are launching the so called ukraine business compact. now they've got over $400.00 companies. they say, with the massive market value of international companies, energy companies, technology companies. but also banks, they've got them involved in this conference and they want to flash out how those investments, how those companies can actually be supported. so we had the city of london, 5 minutes to assume that of is the also mentioned a huge fi, a power of the city of london. this issue, ah no, let's hear a how to how to make for example, insurance happens. so rule, risk insurance, that's one of the buzzwords here at this conference. so that international investors kind of, uh, at least some peace of mind that the, that the investments are awesome. how secure, because the war at the moment is still raging. and the reconstruction though, has to go on has to stop now, so it's short term,

as well as long term needs that i'll be uncovered to you at the conference in london. dairy at mass joining us from london where this international conference to raise funds to rebuild ukraine has been taking place and economy. joining us with the view from keith, we heard from the ukranian president a short while ago nikki. thank you so much to both of you for putting all of this into context and perspective for us. well now this is a huge task because we've been hearing and the final cost is of course not yet, no, not least because the country is still at war. a and russian forces continue to bomb ukraine's towns and cities. correspondents on you fall in the car is outside of keys to get the picture of rebuilding efforts. she sent us this report out with the old i'm in with the new most of the year to go field fighting it up to you know, keep leaving natania door to shank was home damaged.

virginia below. usually we don't have a ceiling. it was blown up. it was leaking everywhere. i think lord sequel or natalia can't afford to pay her whole. she says she hasn't received any government him and relies entirely and volunteers were filling the gap. this group focuses on rebuilding destroyed, houses like natalia's across the cree despite the huge scale of the task, the boss, who's the, in the don't boss. and in this upper region region, the, our entire towns and villages that are being raised the ground working keith is just the drum and the action of them. but we need to do this. people need to live to hide it. so save a form of a psychological support, a street that this what the saws natania is lucky. her neighbors homes on either side. didn't somebody? most houses here in the village ultima showed us didn't scott?

just a few kilometers a we the town. if it'd be the scene of some of the most infamous clashes in the early weeks of the conflict show at the top floor, it's a going the building is on the demolishing list. but the remaining residents refused to leave on the bottle on takes us to show the damage caused by a direct artillery strike. the cordon come in. that's one flat to the other. the high, the fios has swallowed everything. fortunately, no one died. what remains a bed? a chandelier or it's ruth, 3 insists the got to departments can be re, but that you knew a lot much. which is why should this building be pulled down? it's almost 70 percent occupied. most people have come back. we have furniture and flats north impacted. well, the utilities of working,

all of us will have to be moved somewhere and nobody knows where we are a lot of different ages. it's a challenge. local authorities also me deal with it beans deputy meal says nearly 70 percent of the city was damaged last year. he says the trying to boost back, but they need more funds. so i'm assuming it's simple to tackle this on. all right and is impossible. is that we, we need to rebuild now less to me. so we want to bring back life to our city. and the question we don't, montague, children, our residents to see ruins which remind them of the horrors of last year was a cleaning for human a little. but rebuilding in the was own isn't easy to do. you see what's happening? exclusions, russian, besides proposed by ukraine's a defense, there was really, really i will not survive. it isn't going to die icon. that is it. who did the cool

though? ukraine's efforts to rebuild could be wiped out in an instant by a misled strike. the country is determined not to give up. and then with that now you're up to date here and dw news, i'm sarah kelly, and berlin will have more news at the top of the hour to see with us if you can for that. thanks for watching the yes, what fax is poor people can travel. i'm sitting, i'm convinced here of him because of his own model ecological change in town to produce more energy is the burning issue in many european countries right now. but can leaders are great on common solutions. the future is being determined now
