Russia’s war on Ukraine has impacted every aspect of Ukrainian society from its economy, the provision of services such as healthcare and education, housing, energy infrastructure, to its religious and cultural heritage and natural environment.
Estimating the level of damage sustained is difficult as the conflict continues. However, assessments by various organisations and institutions such as the World Bank, estimate that the costs of recovery and post-conflict reconstruction are already in the hundreds of billions. When the security environment allows for a comprehensive and independent assessment of damage on the ground, some have suggested the real figure could be over a trillion US dollars.
