Zelenskyy says reconstruction of his war-torn country is the ‘common task of the entire democratic world’.
According to Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, rebuilding Ukraine will cost $750 billion, and seized Russian assets should be utilised to pay for the recovery.
Vladimir Putin congratulates Russian forces on “liberating” the Luhansk region of eastern Ukraine.
Russia will retaliate in kind for Bulgaria’s expulsion of 70 Russian diplomats, according to Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
After taking Luhansk, the governor of Luhansk claims that Russia will turn its attention to attempting to annex the entirety of the Donetsk area.
Following Russia’s declaration of complete authority over the Luhansk region, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy promises to reclaim lost territory, including the city of Lysychansk.
