“All hands on deck” needed for Ukraine reconstruction - VDL

The President of the European Commission has appealed for a global response to help Ukraine rebuild itself after the devastation of the Russian war.

Ursula von der Leyen made the appeal today in Berlin at an international conference on the recovery, reconstruction and modernisation of Ukraine.  She said she’s working hard with EU countries to secure 1.5 billion euro (€1.5bn) every month to help Ukraine pay essential running costs such as salaries and pensions.  

And she pleaded for “the best and brightest” to begin work as soon as possible on the reconstruction of the war-torn country.
