We need the right architecture in place to make support as broad and as inclusive as possible. And 3rd, as ukraine has achieved candidate status to access the European Union, we need to firmly embed ukraines reconstruction efforts as part of its past towards the European Union. So let us have a look at the 1st point and that is ukraine needs relief, fast rehabilitation and reconstruction. We leave for the daily survival to be able to pay the bare minimum every single day. Salaries for military and Security Forces salaries for teachers and doctors in the hospitals, and in the countryside, pensions for the pension years, and other indispensable payments. According to the International Financial institutions and ukraine, theres a need of 3. 00 to 5000000000. 00 euros a month just to cover these recurrent running costs. Here, reliable support is needed from the European Union, from our friends in the united states. And of course, from the International Financial institutions, i believe its only right if the European Union assumes its fair share. And im working with our Member States that the union could support ukraine with up to 1500000000 euros every months of the war, which would be in some round about 18000000000 euros in 2023 in peril. Youll crean were ukraine needs fast rehabilitation right now as we speak, specially as rush as deliberately leading targeted attacks on civilian infrastructure with a very clear aim. Took out of. 1 men, women, and children of water, electricity, and heating as the winter is approaching. These are pure acts of terror. And russia tries to paralyze ukraine, but we will not let this happen. And in addition, and in addition, we know that there around 11000000 internally displaced people in ukraine and they need shelter, heating, water, and electricity. Their children need to go to school. And therefore we need to repair houses, schools and infrastructure already right now. As European Commission, we have announced to support this rehabilitation of damaged ukrainian schools on the repair of electricity infrastructure. And through the Union Civil Protection mechanism, we have provided 10 sent over 600000 items for shelter. But we all know more has to be done. This phase of fast rehabilitation is essential to ensure that life can continue in ukraine. And this brings me to our over all important topic off today. And that is the reconstruction effort. At the nagondo reconstruction conference, representatives from more than 40 countries and International Organization agreed on the so called nagondo principles. Ukraine owned reform focused transparency, accountability, and rule of law, democratic participation, gender equality, and inclusion, and sustainability. I think these are very good principles, but now we have to fill them with light. And for doing that, we need the best and the brightest on reconstruction. Thats why we have invited to you. Now it is time to bring the platform to action together with the international donors, international businesses, business and of course civil society. We have no time to waste. The scale of destruction is staggering. The world bank puts the costs of the damage, a 350000000000 euros. This is for sure more than one country. A one union can provide a loan. We need all hands on deck. The g 7, the European Union, europe, strong partners like the united states, canada, japan, that you paid south korea, australia, new zealand, and many, many more. And of course, we need the expertise of our partners from the European Investment bank, the e, b r d to the world bank and the i m f. So we will discuss today how to involve these sectors and actors, how to map investment needs, how to coordinate action, and of course, how to channel the resources in a reliable and accountable way. The coordination platform that the International Community has been discussing in the past months needs to take off the ground as soon as possible. Preferrable before the end of the year or early at the beginning of next year. We sent ready to offer the European Commission to provide the secretariat to the platform. We want the work to start and to be done. And that leads me to my final point you crane will be in the lead. I think this is paramount because our action will be driven by the aspirations and the desires of the ukrainian people. And ukraine has a very clear vision and decided to become members of the European Union. Ukraine has achieved candidate status. And with the ongoing relief and rehabilitation, ukraine will combine investment and reforms with the aim to become of up sustainable and Digital Future whistle law and institutions in place to uphold the rule of law to fight corruption and to have Good Governance standards of all partner countries. And our European Union, because the road to reconstruction is at the same time, ukraines past towards its vision. It is a strong anchor to become a modern and prosperous country. And ladies and gentlemen, for all this, we need you. We need you and your expertise, your insights, that a key for us to succeed. This is why i am specially looking forward to this Conference Today from the bottom of my heart. I thank you for being here with us. Every jurell, every dollar, every pound, every gin we spent is an investment in ukraine, but it is also an investment and the Democratic Values around the globe. And all this is urgently needed. But it is also a statement if we are successful with that. It is a statement that the free and democratic nations of this world stand together, and that we stand up for our values. And the courageous ukrainian men and women are fighting for their independence. But they are also fighting for the International Rules based orders. And we will stand by their side as long as it takes slumber, ukrainian long live europe that was nearby and Mission President , most of the founder, lines speaking as this conference on rebuilding ukraine kicks off in germany. We saw the german chancellor open up. This conference is very low and we are just now waiting to hear from ukrainian president volota mer zalinski, who is addressing the conference via video link just to quickly recapture what ursula underline had to say. She began by highlighting the infrastructure damage the very extensive infrastructure damage that has been experiencing cramming the impact that it has had an ordinary ukrainian speaking. She is emphasized that europe will stand by ukraines side and said that it is important to have a fast rehabilitation for ukraine, and that, that coordination platform for aid needs to be set up. Now that is the main goal now of this conference is to bring all of these actors together and to have a plan now Going Forward for action of law. Shes emphasized how it is the support might be stepped up ukrainian. She outlines 3 different points. First is making sure the support comes for ukraine when it needs it.

April sees that were all ready to give ang healey and all of you, the participants of the conference, surely know what exactly. We have to give an alpha ukraine as a physical security of europe as these from many, any new strike of russian tyranny. It is ukraine, you that can guarantee that russian ravin shows them well. Not re. How are you ripping each oh, ukraine as the energy security. Not only to our neighbors soon us when we will liberate the entire territory from russian invaders. The European Union will be able to harness fully and reliably replace dirty Russian Energy resources with our health. Oh wow. Wow. Wow. That tricity exports that could be tons of gigawatts will become one of the fundamental pillars of the european climate policy. Ukraine is already a guarantee of full security in the world, therefore, were also guarantee the predictability of migration flows through the territory of the e u. The most stable and efficient. Now Agricultural Production is the more reliable and significant ukraine food experts are the comma u as the social situation in all those regions of the pam, those planets, from where waves of migrant cigarette bar possible. One more is the industrial activity or industrial culture, natural resources, geographical position, and social traditions. All of dads gives a new impetus to react to nomic life of the entire e u by combining your brain and the over being potentials. This means economic rogue needs and jobs for europe ins and for ukraine said, you know, all day is 100 percent. And you know that this is why wash and next control over refrain so much. This is not just some political ambition. These are very clear Security Energy holds and industrial calculations. Calculations that will never come true for russia. The cranking and people will defend their country and their freedom. And the invaders are already aware of this. This is one of the reasons for their brutality. This is one of the motives full, derek terrorism to destroy what will not work for them, but in fact can reinforce, can strengthen all of us the europeans and ukrainians. As the result of such russian terror, hundreds of solvents of facilities have been destroy a port Railway Station school hospital, wowza, dental building, or car service station on a factory or a bakery. A west, we tell a bater or a power plant. Russia is destroying all this animal, it destroys everything to make it harder for us to grain survive this winter so that your brains could not recover from this war as long as possible so that you could not integrate the ukrainian economic potential and the european potential as long as possible with it uses missiles and iranian attack, drones to destroy the rest, 3rd of the energy sector. And this is before the winter. We all have to resist this together. Now this is the mission for this conference. As i seed with joyce, you know, lisa lane, take a look at that from the standpoint of security, rename security on the lands, and were working for that. New york operating and establishing corporate corporation. We need security in the skies. And that is why were talking about the supply of air defense systems. We need Financial Supports and we were working on that at multiple levels. So as i am out of the world bank, the European Union, the united states, and now theyre foreigners. And a 4th level, its our institutional capacity. This is how we implement all of our programs, including their recovery and as we have built ancient program news amidst the war that still continues. And after the war, i ask you now to concentrate not only on the 4th element, meeting on how to recover a bit to think about. The 3rd element is well, about what is necessary to ensure the proper funding for our operation for you with its a folder recovery i grateful to you and the European Union, and every single you country, which is supporting our estate. But we need to have a more systemic approach to this support. I believe that now we can decide on rating on they stablish ment of a financial ramstein to support our common stability. Anomalies is almost similarly to a defense ramstein which is already functioning on. So we need a financial coordination platform that will unite and will direct all efforts aimed at repaying east loading our country to now to the company operations. We need a consolidation of effort and resources on a timely basis. And really this is how we should continue the debates in louisiana for his president consist that the 1st conference on our recovery we have developed a transparent plan. If you are to steps in reconstruction, this is what you crank literally needs for its survival, not to morrow, not the next year and he was not in the conference, the k, but now ha nozzle. Now, why didnt the height yeah. Pool the coast of our fast Recovery Plan is 7, taking the billions us dollars or for critical and immediate reconstruction. It includes hospital schools, critical transportation, and Energy Infrastructure lab. If huge need in rebuilding the housing after mathematical destruction of our cities by russian tanks and artillery was managed to force the occupiers to retreat from key of churning of so many car give region. But now we need the uh, support. Now to remind people are not as of now we havent received a single cent full with the implementation of past Recovery Plan. So a masking you to make the necessary decision to die. And to facilitate the process of engaging partners into the reconstruction efforts, i have initiated the establishment of the ukraine and recovery found laura. And its important that the Supervisory Board of this font will have the 75 percent of its representatives from donor countries. Now its about transparency and about responsibility and has to start working next month already. And just as on this very conference, we need to make a decision on the systems to cover the next years budget deficit for ukraine. For ukraine. Its a very significant amount of money. 38000000. 00 of deficit. Ease her salaries for teachers, doctors. These are social payments, pensions, us. This is the fact and i believe i association. Our units is powerful enough to accomplish this stuff can tell years ago, you know, why. Moreover, we do have this potential thanks to nasa to National Monetary funds and now their institution, our dialect continues, and surely it will go to specifics to specific number of Financial Support from a very specific sources. Now this is something we need to talk about today. And we can also, this provides quiz much more. This is what we are fighting for. This is what recovery means for ukraine. This is what victory means. Full, you cry. And this is what these things to ukraine. Ukraine is about. Security guarantees, ukraine. Its our common development.

And in the construction of ukraine, right now, light lately, groceries see that his go is unattainable and our come and values will be accomplished mile. And this quote surely need to identify the further support and the mechanism for the reimbursement of all those damages caused by the aggressors state. All those russian assets that are already frozen tomorrow. And all those that still need to be frozen are very significant. And as significant share of those assets are on the territory of the u, and weve been the huge or is diction we need to reimbursement. And for that, we need to have our val, its and legal mechanism.

He watching d. W. Special coverage there as germany hosts a conference on we rebuilding ukraine, weve just heard from ukranian president the ludicrous zalinski and impassioned plea there, underlining the urgency of aid that is needed for his country. He says he needs it now. For the countrys survival is calling for 17000000000 euros in immediate reconstruction aid. Meantime, as weve heard from the European Commission, president ursula funder line and the german chancellor, olaf schultz. They are stressing the need to set up a framework for reconstruction in general on a longer term basis. Lets get an update now on what we have been witnessing and how it fits into the bigger picture. Im going to bring in, correspondent nina has are our chief political correspondent, nina. What do you make of what we have just heard from these leaders . Well, i think m, all 3 of them addressed the audiences they had planned to address. So all ive showed sent a very clear signal to ukraine were Still Standing by your side. We all remember that there had been some doubt when germany was a bit reluctant initially to send weapons to ukraine than the ukrainian or the ukrainians, criticized germany very heavily for their reluctance. So this is a very clear message. All are shot in his position as the head of the g 7. So the most industrialized countries saying this is something where we are going to be by your side and not just today and tomorrow. Were looking at this over a long term perspective. And we are treating you like a few to member of the European Union. And that is also something that the year European Commission had also a funder line. Who is the co host of this conference here . And had to say, she said, lets look at this country as one where we can all benefit in the future as well. If we invest into ukraine now, that is going to become a modern country. And were looking at this long term and then presidency. Lensky, of course, highlighting some of the big challenges already that are present here. And he asked for the International Community to consider using some of those frozen acids by of russia to help reimburse ukraine, essentially for some of the war damages that have been caused. The World Bank Estimates that ukraine has already suffered some 350000000000. 00 worth of war damages, but that is going to be one of the contentious issues that are going to have to be discussed. And of course, the big issue remains, what kind of a framework can they come up with today at this experts conference came in.
