I wonder who will pay to rebuild Ukraine if a resolution is agreed? Russia? Ukraine? Donations from other countries?
I know that it should be Russua, but if they refuse, I don't think that this would prevent the peace that Ukraine want.

Russia is fecked … its military is diminished and its economy is in the toilet. It’s going to have precious few resources to rebuild itself, let alone another country.
However, it is going to be better all round if western countries and their industries handle the rebuilding. Nothing will more completely seal Russia’s humiliation than watching Ukraine being rebuilt as an unabashed western democracy with western values and western materials.
