Despite war, reconstruction booms in Ukraine's capital

“The builders are doing a great job,” said Tamara Herasymenko, a resident of a 16-story apartment building on the western outskirts of the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. “They’re working seven days a week,” she enthused.

Herasymenko has come by the building on Chornobylska Street along with several other of the building’s residents to see how the reconstruction work is progressing here.

It was on the morning of March 15 that a Russian rocket hit the tower block, causing significant destruction.
