The Ukrainian cabinet confirmed on Thursday that the cumulative economic damage inflicted by the hostilities amid the war with Russia has risen to $600 billion.

"According to the Government's estimates, the total losses of Ukraine's economy due to the war have already reached $600 billion," the cabinet highlighted in a statement on Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal’s address to the GLOBSEC 2022 Forum in Bratislava.

The statement explained that the figure captures the country's losses from a contracting economy, blocked export routes, and halted business, as well as material damage incurred to infrastructure and housing, roads, and communication lines.

Shmyhal indicated that to repair this damage, a coordinated effort is required with the participation of foreign governments, local authorities, and private entities.

"Right now, we are repairing roads and individual houses, demining, restoring light, gas, and water, and building temporary housing for thousands of people who have lost it. That is why we are asking our partners for help," the Ukrainian Prime Minister considered.

In late April, Shmyhal estimated that the first six weeks of the war had caused a total loss of $500 billion to Ukraine's economy, projecting that this figure would amount to $1 billion if the war drags on.

The World Bank predicted that the Ukrainian economy would contract by 45% by the end of the year, with physical damage to buildings and infrastructure across the country estimated at roughly $60 billion as of April.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said earlier that the reconstruction of Ukraine would require major support on behalf of the Western allies in the form of a strategic international support plan "that will be a modern version of the historic Marshall Plan."
