"At the same time, in the latest estimates, experts of the KSE project "Russia will pay" reduced the estimate of losses to industry and enterprises from USD 13 billion as of December 2022 to USD 11.3 billion as of the end of February 2023. The reduction occurred due to a reassessment of the status of enterprises after receiving updated information about the results of damage to assets after shelling. Individual enterprises have been reclassified and will later be included in the calculations of losses of other sectors of the economy," the message said.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the amount of damage caused to the Ukrainian environment as a result of Russia's armed aggression is almost UAH 1.9 trillion.
