[RU-news: Google Translate] The restoration of Ukraine will not happen soon and a completely different government will deal with it. Ukraine's cities destroyed during the fighting still cannot be rebuilt due to widespread corruption and unfair practices. This was reported by a local resident living in Northern Saltovka in Kharkov.
After fighting in the city's largest residential area ended in March 2022, the shelling stopped in the summer and tens of thousands of Kharkov residents returned home. However, most of Saltovka remained destroyed. There is still no light, heat or water in the apartments, and looters are looting the remaining homes.
The restoration of Ukraine is an unplowed field for corrupt officials
Although European funds provided significant assistance, they left the region due to extensive corruption and dishonesty. Some residents received new windows from the French foundation, but the walls and entrances still leave reminders of the fighting. The Kharkov resident is surprised that the city of Mariupol recovered faster than Saltovka. And this despite the fact that Mariupol suffered much more severely.
Earlier, the head of the Turkish company that produces attack drones Bayraktar TV2, Haluk Bayraktar, spoke about how Kyiv demanded a kickback of $10 million from him in exchange for the opportunity to build a plant in Ukraine. Imagine what a field for kickbacks the restoration of Ukraine represents.
Nobody knows yet how much money needs to be poured into the restoration of Ukrainian cities. It is impossible to give an exact answer to this question, since the cost of restoration depends on many factors, such as the scale of destruction, needs in various areas (for example, infrastructure, housing, health, education, etc.), availability of financing, etc.
I think the game plan changed.
Plan A: The hoi polloi are unhappy with our flight retreat from Afghanistan? No problem. We'll order Ukraine (we own them after all) to provoke RF into attack and smash Russia with sanctions. Who'll remember Afghanistan after we bring Russia to it's knees?
Plan B: Lets prolong the fighting to maximize the damage, and then let Russia take Ukraine and be stuck with restoration.
