So is Israel going to pay for Palestine to rebuild?
of course, Havent you heard about "Gaza 2035 plan", google it ;)
Why won’t Iran & China pay for the rebuild Gaza? Oh no it is the carrot n stick… who gets the contracts to rebuild. Iran & Syria should take in many hundreds of thousands of refugees as they supported the very stupid tunnel building trying take down the West (Israel is part of the West)! Yet again it is western nations n UN n MSF doing the hard work coz Netanyahu the strong man stood up to Hamas who hide behind women with babies! What else would you do?

The war is long lost and only sacrifices Ukrainians. Stupidity!
Any gains now will only be temporary as Nazi Europe and the Soviet Union demonstrated so well. They proved that people cannot be oppressed forever - but in the meantime it's nice that Putin has wasted money much needed elsewhere in Russia on repairing the damage he caused in someone else's country....
Yes. You are stupid.
Very true
If the west carries on funding the ukes then the mighty Russia will keep on moving west and taking back Russias stolen land until they go past the chicken kiev place 😀and all the way to the west border of ukey land. 🙂. Once all their land has been taken back then I think Russia will start rebuilding. 🙂.

Where did USA rebuild?
So, Ukraine has had 2 years plus lots of money to fortify their northern border and Kharkiv since Russia withdrew from that part back in 2022, far more time than Russia did to build the Surovikin line in the south. What happened?? Where did the money go??? There are reports of incomplete fortifications or inadequate defenses such as in depth minefields. You can't blame that on the latest aid.

Israel isn't giving Hamas (a terrorist organization) any monies. As soon as the Palestinians elected Hamas in Gaza it was over. No " Two State Solution " possible.
Russia has already rebuilt infastructure,housing and factories in Mariupol which was largely damaged by Ukrainian shelling. -- it will do the same in all of the Donbass --- again much of the damage inflicted by the Ukrainian side between 2014 and now. As for the West of Ukraine ,much of it now owned by Blackrock and Vanguard etc , and still largely intact.I don't think Russia will fund that.-- Ukraine should have took the peace deal which was on the table in April 2022 ---- whatever the current rebuild costs and who pays it , no one can bring back the 400,000 dead Ukrainians whose lives were squandered in this failed attempt to weaken Russia and replace President Putin..

Exactly: in the same way the US paid for in Iraq war destruction.
I thought Blackrock would be paying. I also thought that this decision on whom should pay would be a collaborative UN decision. Whom made the USA boss? If the USA are looking for recompense for their monetary support to Ukraine then liability should be sought through the appropriate channels. All of these unanswered new questions regarding liability re monies should have been thought about before going fullsteam ahead with so called "donations".

See who is talking
I have been to Ukraine many times over the past 12 years, and it is clear the whole place was NEVER maintained since 1991 independence and before. Buildings are crumbling and a hole in the middle of the road in Kherson quite literally had a tree placed in it to stop the buses putting a wheel in. Taxis have to swerve every 20 feet to avoid huge potholes. The public buses felt like the axles were going to come detached. The housing was neglected and the buildings put up by Stalin are at the end of their viability. In many ways it is almost like the rich and corrupt Ukrainian politicians, having ripped off the country, actually want it demolished and rebuilt by USA or Russia, or EU, or anybody except Ukraine, because they will NEVER pay anyone for rebuilding. Any loads USA has will Ukraine, they can kiss goodbye. Ukrainians who have any possibility have left years ago. Look at the population numbers, the falling birth rate, the decline of the currency. Look at the many documentaries about Ukraine homeless street children, some as young as 4 years old.
When you saw how in Mariupol the Ukrainian military deliberately destroyed buildings , theatres, hospitals and flattened the city, it was not Russia, but was literally Ukrainian military wiping the city down. This has been deliberate demolition and population reset by Kiev. Wake up world.
Russia must pay for Ukraine rebuild !!!! Will it rename it first ?
