Ukraine: Russia has caused $500bn in damages

Ukraine's Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal says that his country has suffered more than $500bn (£383bn) in damages since the invasion began - and insists that Russia pays for the restoration of Ukraine after the war, Qazet.az reports.

Shmyhal did not go into how exactly reparations could be collected, even if Ukraine did win the war, but mentioned seizing Russian property abroad. He added that Ukraine would also seek financial assistance from allies.

The PM made the comments at Tuesday's meeting with the leaders of three neighbouring nations - Czech Republic, Poland and Slovenia - who've travelled to Kyiv in solidarity.
