ESTIMATION OF UKRAINE’S LOSSES FROM THE MILITARY AGGRESSION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION: A MACROECONOMIC DIMENSION
ABSTRACT ▼
At the end of March 2022, researchers of the State Institution "Institute for Economics and Forecasting, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine" estimated the potential losses of Ukraine's national economy from the military invasion of the aggressor country. The results obtained are not final, as they only account the situation in the first month of the war. At the same time, they are quite informative in terms of presenting Ukraine's losses and the corresponding challenges this country is facing both in terms of consolidating available resources to protect state sovereignty and in terms of post-war economic reconstruction. The results obtained in the study have been sent to the central government. The paper is published in the journal without some information, which is removed for security reasons.
Keywords:potential losses, Ukraine's national economy, military invasion
