00:00 It's the

00:02 End of 2023 already,

00:05 um,

00:06 almost

00:07 two years since the war started,

00:09 but it's great to be here in

00:11 beautiful Kiev.

00:15 For the World Bank,

00:16 it's been a very,

00:18 very

00:19 intense 1.5 years or more,

00:23 almost 2 years of work,

00:25 working with Ukraine to make sure that there is

00:29 enough resources

00:31 to make sure that Ukraine survives during the war.

00:35 As

00:36 most of you know,

00:37 our resources

00:39 have flooded in to try and make sure that

00:43 Pensioners get paid,

00:46 children get schooling,

00:48 healthcare is delivered,

00:51 farmers have enough resources to plant their crops and to harvest them.

00:55 And houses are repaired

00:58 that have been devastated by the war.

01:01 But

01:02 as the war drags on,

01:04 There is a need

01:06 to turn towards investing

01:09 not just in Ukraine's present

01:11 but the future,

01:12 and that's what we will be doing

01:13 over the next years

01:15 to help

01:16 Ukraine.

01:18 Do the reforms that are needed

01:20 to make sure that

01:21 it recovers from the war

01:23 vibrantly

01:25 and well.

01:26 We look forward to

01:27 yet another year

01:29 of hard work,

01:30 but one that we hope will set Ukraine

01:33 on its path to its bright future after the war.

01:46 So Geog,

01:47 how has it been for you

01:49 since you're living here day to day and

01:51 spending a lot of time down in the shelter?

01:55 I can't believe it has been 6 months,

01:58 and

01:59 Kiev in a way has become home to me.

02:02 You know,

02:03 my first

02:04 visit to Kiev was 30 years ago,

02:07 and

02:07 you know it was such a welcoming city back then.

02:11 And despite all the hardship

02:14 that

02:16 People in the country

02:18 face on a daily basis,

02:19 it is as welcoming as it has been.

02:24 It has been a real privilege to be here on the ground and lead our

02:28 team here

02:29 and provide the

02:31 kind of support you were talking about

02:33 on a daily basis,

02:35 and

02:36 I am

02:37 absolutely impressed by

02:40 the resilience of Ukrainian people.

02:43 From the government officials to those very

02:49 You know,

02:49 ordinary people who

02:51 make their daily

02:53 struggle

02:54 to survive but are so committed for their bright future,

02:57 and I'm.

02:58 I'm,

02:59 I really believe in that future.

03:01 So

03:02 let's do everything,

03:03 let's continue doing everything in the next year as well to make sure that

03:07 this future comes and comes a day earlier.

03:15 Thank you Gevog and

03:17 wishing you,

03:19 but also

03:20 every Ukrainian

03:21 a better

03:23 New Year and a happy New Year to come.

03:25 Better and peaceful New Year.
