[Witness spoke in Ukrainian, interpreted as follows:]
First of all, I think they need to...until we achieve our victory. To me, as a city mayor, I am communicating with different funds and organizations from European countries, but not only Europeans. There was a representative from Japan, from a big development fund. I know that there are all kinds of contacts and negotiations happening, but everyone is waiting until the war has ended.
I can talk about my city, the city of Chernihiv. We have made some preliminary calculations. They show that we have suffered direct losses of approximately 1.5 billion euros here, with destruction of property, houses and infrastructure, as well as roads, buildings, surfaces, warehouses and schools. Some of the schools have been completely destroyed.
There will be a lot of need for a lot of resources to rebuild. We will need new technologists. We obviously won't be able to do this on our own from our city revenues. We would look to outside resources to help us in our rebuilding effort. However, it can probably only take place after the active phase of this military campaign has concluded.
