Ukraine's deputy PM confident country 'will win this year'
Economics editorYuliia Svyrydenko was asked if she had a message for ordinary British families suffering the cost-of-living crisis partly onset by Russia's invasion.
The deputy prime minister, who is participating in the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, also discussed the reconstruction of Ukraine - which she said should, in part, be funded by money seized from Russian oligarchs as part of Western sanctions. In September, the World Bank estimated the cost of Ukraine's reconstruction to be at $350bn , but Ms Svyrydenko said she believed that figure could now be $1 trillion , because of continued missile strikes on the country's energy grid.
