The largest increase in losses, according to the results of December is associated with an increase in losses from the destruction of the housing stock.
“Compared to the latest estimates as of November 2022, the total amount of damage has increased by almost $2 billion. Russia continues to conduct a “massive” barrage of strikes on critical infrastructure. According to “Russia will pay” project experts, the largest increase in damages as of December is related to the destruction of the housing stock, educational institutions, and objects in the spheres of culture, religion, and sports,” emphasized the Kyiv School of Economics.
The damage caused by the destruction of housing stock has been estimated at 54 billion dollars. This amount was increased by 1.5 billion dollars in December. Over ten months, a total of 149,300 residential buildings were destroyed or damaged, in particular 131,400 private homes, 17,500 apartment buildings, and 280 dormitories.
“The most affected spheres by the war are still infrastructure (damages of $35.6 billion) and industry and enterprise assets (damages of $13 billion),” added the Kyiv School of Economics.
