Ukraine has ‘suffered £70 BILLION in infrastructure damage’ in just nine weeks of war

The cost of rebuilding Ukraine after invading Russians laid waste to parts of the country now stands at over £70billion ($88billion), a Ukrainian university has claimed. 

As of April 26, the total amount of documented direct infrastructure damage to Ukraine stood at £70.3 billion ($87.9 billion) with large amounts of residential buildings and roads in particular destroyed by Russian forces, according to the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE).

The damage has been verified as part of an open-source data campaign by the KSE to document the damage done by the invasion as part of its ‘Russia Must Pay’ series 

The Kyiv School of Economics was supported by Volodymyr Zelensky’s government – included his Presidential Office, Ukraine’s Ministry of Economy and the Ministry of Infrastructure.
