Ukraine: War caused $10 billion in damage to the country’s infrastructure

Ukraine has suffered about $10 billion in damage to its infrastructure since Russia invaded the country, Ukrainian Infrastructure Minister Oleksander Kubrakov said on Monday.

He said, in televised comments, that the number had been the same since Sunday, and added: “Most of the (damaged) structures will be repaired within a year, and the most difficult within two years.”

Kubrakov said 40,000 people had been evacuated from the eastern city of Kharkiv on Sunday. But Ukraine appealed to Russia to let civilians out of other cities and an Interior Ministry official, Vadym Denysenko, said 4,000 civilians still needed to be evacuated from the outskirts of the capital Kiev.

“Russia is doing everything it can to avoid (humanitarian) runners,” Denysenko added.
