President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has invited Sweden to take part in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine, Interfax reports.

"I am sure that together we will be able to ensure peace, and therefore we need to think about the restoration of Ukraine after this war right now. And it will happen. I invite Swedish architects, Swedish companies, the Swedish state, your people to take part in this historical project. Ukraine was beautiful, and now it will become great, because such is our people," Zelensky said, speaking to the Swedish Parliament on Thursday.

"I invite you to demonstrate to the world, to all modern and future generations, that war does not give results, but peace does. And life," he said.

According to him, Sweden became the first state to which Ukraine offered a "big restoration project."

"You can take patronage over any city of Ukraine, region or industry for their restoration. I am sure that your leadership will be indispensable. Your technologies, business and love of life, the ability to organize space are in the interests of people," the president said.
