PM Shmyhal: Ukrainian budget loses almost UAH 2B a day due to Russia’s attack

"Hostilities are ongoing in the country, losses change every day, the final calculations will be made after [the war]. Now, if we talk about the calculations on budget losses prepared by the Ministry of Finance, Ukraine’s losses account for about UAH 2 billion a day," Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal said in an interview with NV, Ukrinform reports.

According to the preliminary data, the infrastructure losses totaled $119 billion, or $4.25 billion a day over the month of the war.

"If we add military losses and increased military and social spending, support programs, losses of the economy and enterprises, then we are talking about $565 billion. I do not even want to divide it by days. The losses are clearly huge," he said.

At the same time, Shmyhal called for optimism as Ukraine will recover quickly after the war.

As reported, the Prime Minister said that Ukraine had already received more than $3 billion in international financial support, while another $10 billion was being negotiated.
