Esteemed Members of the European Union,
I come before you on behalf of the people of Ukraine to request that the EU supply financial aid to the Ukrainian government in order to repair and reconstruct damaged or destroyed infrastructure in the eastern Oblast's of Donetsk and Luhansk.

As you may well know from recent news reports, the Ukrainian government has up until now neglected to begin reconstruction in eastern Ukraine, instead spending money on other things like modernizing infrastructure elsewhere in the country and on defense. While we admit that our priorities were not correct, we simply lack the funds to begin reconstruction on our own in the east.

As we know that the EU does not seek a divided Ukraine, nor another war on the European continent, we would like to request that the European Union supply as much money as is possible to help in the reconstruction efforts in eastern Ukraine. This money would be spent initially on repairing infrastructure important to the local and national economy, specifically; railways, airports, roadways, bridges, coal mines. Some of the money would also be used to repair or rebuild destroyed or damaged homes, and some of it would also be used to help resettle displaced peoples and refugees back into the region.

It is imperative that Ukraine receive the necessary funds to begin reconstruction in the eastern Oblast's of Luhansk and Donetsk, as not only would this help revive the struggling Ukrainian economy, it would also prevent a potential resurgence of violence and could help offset the refugee crisis that is plaguing parts of Ukraine and Russia.

I yield the floor.
