Losses for Ukraine due to Russian invasion exceed $500 bln – Shmyhal

Direct one-time losses for Ukraine due to the invasion of the Russian Federation exceed $500 billion, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal said.

"In our government, a corresponding group, which assesses the losses for the economy as a result of Russian aggression has already been created and is working. Preliminary calculations say that now the direct one-time losses for Ukraine amount to more than $500 billion. And, in fact, these are the funds that will be needed to restore our state – both at the expense of the repatriation of the Russian Federation, and at the expense of our partners – in order for Ukraine to recover and become the same as it was before the war," he said in a press statement jointly with the prime ministers of Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovenia on Wednesday night.
