Mariupol will need at least $10 billion to rebuild infrastructure destroyed by the occupants, the Mariupol City Council has reported.
"At least $10 billion will be needed to restore infrastructure in Mariupol. This is a preliminary minimum estimate that will be refined in the process of fixing the destruction caused by Russian aggression," the city council said in a message on its Telegram channel on Friday.
The report noted that the Mariupol City Council created a special deputy commission to assess the extent of the destruction and calculate the funds needed to rebuild infrastructure.
"Every crime, every murder and destruction caused by the aggressor must be recorded and referred to an international court. War criminals must be punished. Now we are working in close cooperation with the government and the Donetsk military-civil administration in order to obtain from Russia after the war not only reparations for the full restoration of our beloved Mariupol, but also large payments to all Mariupol residents for the suffering and damage caused," the report stresses, referring to the words of Mariupol Mayor Vadim Boychenko.
