Nearly five months of war has damaged crucial infrastructure — factories, airports, railway stations — and obliterated residential buildings, schools, hospitals, churches and shopping malls. And the bombs continue to fall. Ukraine’s prime minister, Denys Shmyhal, told those assembled in Lugano on Monday that the cost of rebuilding was estimated at $750 billion.

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine had warned the conference that the task of rebuilding the country would be “colossal.” Russia’s indiscriminate shelling was an attempt not just to destroy Ukraine but also the vision of democracy and Europe, he said by video link, making the war “not just ours, not just a local one.”

They seem to be a bit optimistic on their future money laundering potential. However, they might be right on for their future blackmail of Western politicians potential.

Criminals run Ukraine. The best thing for it is to allow all the leadership of the nation die, make it neutral, and allow them to rebuild.

Former Ukraine will become "Neua Poland" and "Landlocked KhazarianPirateland"

The Europeans have hit the death spiral of finance. They have nobody willing to buy their bonds except for their central bankers. They are desperately looking around for anything to tax, but the European governments have already taxed the shit out of just about everything.

There are no attempts to cut government spending.

The Europeans are now going to provide inflation relief to their citizens by having their federal governments subsidize the increased costs of energy. --- The only way they can do this is by printing more money.

The Europeans (yep Brits too) will print ever increasing amounts of money until their economies resemble Venezuela's.

Re-building Ukraine will be far down on people's lists of priorities.

Oh yeah? Just hire some Japanese experts to guide you through how they rebuilt Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

And sounds like a plan.

$400B of Russian cash is already frozen abroad. The rest can be covered from selling their foreigh assets. All these "cultural centres" in places like downtown Paris and such.

If we steal $400 billion of Russia's cash, they will simply steal trillions of dollars worth of our stuff. It is simple to copy drugs. The cost is the research and development. The manufacturing process is simple. They can simply steal out whole pharmaceutical and biotech industry. No need to actually pay for those new cancer treatments.

Software...simply steal it. All of our intellectual property simply stolen without payment.

Once the US goes down this road of stealing other countries shit, expect a world-wide free for all.

Or hire the Germans to guide you through how they rebuilt Dresden or Hanburg. Or Poles who rebuild Poland periodically.
