Ukraine Gate – Kyiv – July 6, 2022- The reconstruction of the city of Mariupol destroyed by the Russian aggressor will cost more than 14 billion dollars and will take seven to ten years.
According to the mayor, 1,356 residential buildings in the city were destroyed or damaged due to the war, 40% of private homes were bombed, and most of them cannot be reconstructed, so it is planned to build new ones.

Mariupol is also witnessing one of the biggest humanitarian disasters caused by the Russian aggression, as the city was almost completely destroyed by enemy bombing.
