Ukraine is losing millions of dollars due to air raids

Due to the downtime of enterprises during an air raid, Ukraine loses $45 million in income per hour.

The unpreparedness of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to combat the new drones of the Russian Armed Forces leads to lengthy air raids, which cause significant damage to the Ukrainian economy.

Ukrainian industry this year suffered damage of about 10 billion dollars.

MOSCOW, September 30 - RIA Novosti. Ukraine is losing $45 million in revenue per hour due to business downtime during an air raid, the Guardian reported, citing comments from Ukrainian Economy Minister Alexander Kravchenko.

“Every hour of missile alarm operation costs Ukraine approximately $45 million due to enterprise downtime,” says the material on the publication’s website.

As noted in the publication, an activated air raid force employees of enterprises to leave their workplaces, stopping the operation of the enterprise for the duration of the threat. Thus, the Ukrainian economy is suffering noticeable losses even at the expense of operational enterprises.

Constant alarms, in some regions lasting 10 hours a day, are due to the unpreparedness of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to fight new drones of the Russian Armed Forces, Kravchenko told Western journalists. According to him, this year alone Ukrainian industry suffered about $10 billion in damage.
