In the war, all fronts need attention and strength, financial front - especially the presidential speech at the third meeting of the ministerial round table to support Ukraine
Probably, you have all seen in the news, what is being said. And you know that this level of violence, this level of atrocity, the Russian army tries to make a routine everywhere in Ukrainian lands. You cannot get used to it. Every time shock as for the first time when they do something like that. The death of Russia should not become a routine! The long history of Russian impunity should finally stop.
I thank everyone in the world, thank everyone and everyone who helps Ukraine withstand! But every day . . . Every day we lose our people - men and women, adults and children who die from Russian hands . . . I ask you now to pay tribute to the memory of this Ukrainian, whose death the world saw yesterday, and the memory of all our people whose lives were lived They were taken by the Russian invasion. Thank you. This is very important for all of us. Dear present! Ukraine will win this war.
Only the question of the time when Russian aggression is defeated. But the state-zla should not remain a chance to defeat the ruins. What is the purpose of the terrorist always? To break life. If you do not kill, then cripple. If you do not destroy, then make you suffer. Any aggressor that hates life-whether it acts at the state level, as Russia, whether at the level of a terrorist group, or at the level of one degraded personality . . . The aggressor always enjoys when it destroys.
And when the ruins after aggression have to overcome for decades. Thousands and thousands of objects in Ukraine are destroyed. Thanks to partners this year, most of the current costs of maintaining a normal life are provided financially. But the basic needs for restoration remain unproven - housing, energy, transport, social and humanitarian, public services. I recently visited all the frontier and border regions of our country bordering on Russia. It hurts to see it.
Broken in the city's battles, burned villages, dead - because they are replaced - fields . . . Support for rapid recovery is literally part of anti -terrorist work. Cleaning what was destroyed, we win the main purpose of terror - we return a normal life. The second point is the assets of the state. For the first time in history, the world has such a large -scale opportunity to compensate for losses from an unprovured and illegal war on the aggressor - on the one who is guilty of war.
For example, the World Bank has given a new estimate of the losses and needs of Ukraine with a volume of $ 411 billion. Every day Russia increases this account. The world has Russian assets of different types that cover this level of losses! Potential aggressors in the world are now looking at whether you are doing the right thing. To confiscate Russian assets, as well as assets of persons related to the leadership top of the state, real. Confiscate and direct that life in Ukraine could recover.
Russia should feel the full price of its aggression. Ladies and Gentlemen! Ukraine appeals to you with two calls. The first: the primary needs for reconstruction. I thank you for the new IMF cooperation program, which is a significant stabilization factor for Ukraine. This will help us to fight. But for people to return to Ukraine, to lose not only on the battlefield, but literally in everything, we need the approval of the support program to cover the priority projects of rapid recovery.
The total volume of such projects is $ 14. 1 billion. Our officials, who are now in Washington, will present details. And second. It is already necessary to work on specific mechanisms of directing frozen Russian assets to compensate for the losses caused by Russia. It should be clearly stated that assets, including the assets of the Russian Central Bank, will be confiscated. It will be the peacekeeping act - on a global scale. Potential aggressors should see it.
And remember that the world can be strong. There may be different formats of decisions, but the faster and more effective decisions will be, the more reliable and long -lasting the peace will be after this war. Ladies and Gentlemen! There are no minor fronts in the war. Everyone needs attention and strength. The financial front is especially. We do our part of the work and I am grateful to everyone who helps. But fundamental solutions depend on you.
