The invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation, which began on February 24, 2022, caused significant civilian casualties, damage to infrastructure and production assets, and resulted in severe human, social and economic losses.
The first months of the war were characterized by fighting in critical cities, such as Mariupol, and around Kyiv, areas where the government of Ukraine temporarily lost control of significant territory. However, since April 2022, the government has regained control of more than half of this territory, with limited loss of control in new areas. On the other hand, since September 2022, there has been an increase in damage due to the use of remotely delivered explosives (e.g., missiles, drones) to target critical infrastructure such as energy facilities. This second Rapid Assessment of Damage and Needs (RADN2), developed jointly by the World Bank Group, the Government of Ukraine, the European Commission and the United Nations, presents a one-year assessment of the impact of the war in accordance with a globally recognized methodology. The assessment quantifies the direct physical damage to infrastructure and buildings, as well as the needs for recovery and reconstruction.
To assist the Government of Ukraine and partners in planning immediate recovery and reconstruction activities, the DRR2 also estimates priorities and costs for 2023, which take into account the immediate recovery and reconstruction needs, government priorities, absorptive and implementation capacity of different sectors, and, to some extent, available financial resources. Due to the ongoing war, there are certain data limitations and assumptions, as noted in the report.
