Losses from the war
In December 2023, experts from the Kyiv School of Economics project “Russia will pay” reported that the amount of damage to Ukraine’s infrastructure due to the war as of January 2024 exceeded $150 billion. This assessment also takes into account the losses caused to Ukraine due to the explosion of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station by the invaders in June.
The housing stock remains in first place in terms of the amount of damage. The number of damaged or destroyed residential buildings is more than 250 thousand buildings, most of them private houses.
