The Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Andrii Hnatov said that one day of a full-scale war with the aggressor state russia costs Ukraine USD 172 million.
He said this in a comment to Novyny.LIVE during the YES 2025 conference.
He emphasized that since Ukraine needs USD 172 million per day, it is impossible to withstand such a load on its own.
"That is why it is important to attract funding from partners for the development of our defense industry and innovative technologies that would give Ukraine an advantage," he said.
Hnatov also noted that Ukraine gained an advantage on the battlefield where it introduced innovative solutions, but additional funding is needed for their full implementation. That is why Ukraine is turning to partners.
"We must not forget that the introduction of innovations is a huge financial resource... Waging war against such a large and powerful country in terms of resources as the occupying country of the Russian Federation is extremely expensive," he concluded.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, meanwhile, on the night of September 14, drones attacked the Kirishi oil refinery in the Leningrad Oblast of russia. This is one of the largest oil refineries in russia.
