According to Botov, Ukraine is facing the threat of an economic downturn, as well as a reduction in the tax base needed to finance the fighting.

According to the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, the total economic damage by the end of the year will be about $ 10 billion. A significant part of these losses accounted for logistical failures, missed sales, disruption of work schedules.
