This prophecy
Isaiah 13:14
And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.

15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.

16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.

17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.

18 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children.

Now that the war is almost over, here are some important facts and figures...

The cost of direct damage to Ukraine's infrastructure amid Russia's ongoing invasion has reached an estimated $63 billion, according to an analysis by the Kyiv School of Economics.
This will possibly be overseen by the United Nations Compensation Commission (UNCC) where as established after the Gulf War, Iraq accepted United Nations Security Council Resolution 687, which declared Iraq's financial liability for damage caused in its invasion of Kuwait. This saw US $350 billion in claims filed by governments, corporations, and individuals. UNCC awarded compensions claims for $52.4 billion to approximately 1.5 million successful claimants and as of July 2019, $48.7 billion has been paid with only $3.7 billion left to be paid to Kuwait on behalf of the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation. and funds for these payments were to come from a 30% share of Iraq's oil revenues from the oil for food program. The UNCC says that its prioritization of claims by natural people, ahead of claims by governments and entities or corporations (legal persons), "marked a significant step in the evolution of international claims practice".
