Zelensky calculated the damage from Russian aggression

08 November 2024

The amount reached 800 billion dollars.

Damages that Ukraine suffered as a result of Russian aggression reached approximately 800 billion dollars.

This figure was announced by Volodymyr Zelenskyi during a press conference following his participation in the summit of the European Political Community in Budapest, the correspondent of Ukrinform reports.

"Now there are 300 billion dollars of frozen Russian assets. According to estimates of international institutions, the Russians destroyed Ukraine for about 800 billion dollars, the President said. "Ukraine now needs these frozen assets to purchase weapons and build housing for people who lost it as a result of the war."

Zelensky noted that the amount of funds that the Russian Federation receives from the use of the shadow fleet is many times greater than the aid to Ukraine from all allies.

"The Russian shadow fleet earns 11-12 billion dollars a month. Let's multiply by 12 months... I only ask you to compare this money with how much aid Ukraine received. Again, we are grateful for everything. But only one shadow fleet of the Russian Federation, which was not sanctioned, earned more in almost three years of war than all the aid of the whole world to Ukraine in this war," said the President.

At the same time, he emphasized the insufficiency of sanctions. In particular, he reminded that restrictions are not imposed on all banks and not on all energy resources of the Russian Federation.

As "Ukrainian Energy" reported, Russian attacks on the energy sector reduced Ukraine's GDP growth.
