OPINION - The Standard View: When Kyiv wins and peace comes, Britain must help rebuild Ukraine

More dead, more injured and buildings destroyed — Russia has unleashed its latest barrage of missiles across Ukraine. The targets spanned the country, from the capital Kyiv to Lviv in the west, Odessa in the south and Kharkiv in the east. The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which is under Russian control, has lost electric power. Knocked off the grid, it has only 10 days of generator power remaining.

These attacks represent another attempt by Vladimir Putin to destroy critical energy infrastructure and demoralise the Ukrainian people. Despite the hardship and the barbarity inflicted by Putin’s war, the latter is not on the cards. Despite the missiles, residents in Kyiv were soon getting ready to go to work.
