The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has said
the Kremlin's goal is the military, political and economic destruction of Ukraine.

She said Russia wanted to undermine Ukraine's very existence as a state
and this could not be allowed to happen.

The EU will set up a reconstruction platform to co-ordinate the rebuilding of
Ukraine once the war ends, she added.

The platform will be used to map investment needs, co-ordinate action
and channel resources, she told the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Switzerland.

The EU has mobilised around €6.2bn in financial support since the start of
Russia's invasion, she said.

"And... more will come. We will engage substantially in the mid- and long-term
reconstruction."
