Russian troops have destroyed 6,800 residential houses in Ukraine.

The relevant statement was made by Ukrainian Communities and Territories Development Minister Oleksiy Chernyshov on Facebook, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“According to the preliminary data, Russia has destroyed 6,800 residential houses in Ukraine. But, unfortunately, this number is increasing every hour. The destruction volumes are catastrophic. More than 1,000 housing stock facilities were destroyed in Kharkiv. A large number of houses were destroyed in Chernihiv and Mariupol,” Chernyshov noted.

In his words, dozens of billions of dollars will be needed to restore the core infrastructure only after the war ends. The development part and the restoration of bridges and urban areas will cost hundreds of billions of dollars.

According to Chernyshov, the Ukrainian government is actively working on the action plan for the country’s reconstruction.

A reminder that, on February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin initiated a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian troops are shelling and destroying the key infrastructure facilities, launching missile and air strikes on Ukrainian cities and villages, killing civilians.
