A World Bank report puts the cost of Ukraine’s recovery and rebuilding from Russia’s invasion at $411bn over the next decade, with the cost of cleaning up the war rubble alone at $5bn.

The report provides both sweeping and closely detailed looks at some of the toll of Russia’s war in Ukraine: At least 9,655 civilians confirmed dead, including 465 children; nearly two million homes damaged; more than one out of five public health institutions damaged; and 650 ambulances damaged or looted.
