The war in Ukraine is now well into its third year, with Russia's bombardment of the country using increasing in recent weeks.

A record number of drones and missiles have been used to attack the capital Kyiv, forcing residents to spend nights in metro stations and basements.

Russia's summer offensive comes as European, business and financial leaders convened last week in Rome to discuss how the country could rebuild once the conflict ends. 

Among those attending was Sonia Khush, who's country lead for Save the Children in Ukraine.

As well as the billions that'll be needed for the physical reconstruction, the organisation says there must be an investment in the education and skills for the younger generation of Ukrainians.
