The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has taken a heavy toll on the country’s economy, with Russian attacks devastating energy infrastructure, disrupting production, and blocking ports. Despite the risks, however, many Ukrainian industries continue to operate and keep the country’s economy afloat.
One such industry is the medals industry, which we visited in the Nepro region. Despite being just 100 kilometers away from Russian troops, the metal plant continues to produce thanks to an improvised setup that includes just a few computers and an internet connection. The workers have emergency supplies that could sustain them for days or even weeks, highlighting the reality of living in a war zone.
Unfortunately, not every Ukrainian business has been as fortunate. Two Russian missiles hit a production site in Nepro, killing two people. Other companies have struggled with the effects of Russian attacks on Ukraine’s power system, losing around 450,000 euros in just one minute every time the power goes off. Many customers in Europe are also afraid of working with Ukrainian suppliers due to the risks associated with the conflict.
The Kiev School of Economics estimates that the total damage to infrastructure is almost 138 billion dollars, with most of the damage coming to residential housing, logistics, roads, and electricity. The damage has been most severe in areas close to the front lines, making it difficult for factories and other businesses to keep up production.
To stabilize the Ukrainian economy, experts agree that the war must end, international support is necessary, and the power grid and infrastructure must be improved to provide companies with sufficient electricity to operate. However, challenges remain, such as the labor force, which has been heavily impacted by the war, with tens of thousands of people wounded or killed and millions leaving the country.
Despite these challenges, many industries continue to persevere, fighting to keep the Ukrainian economy afloat in the face of adversity. It is a testament to the resilience of the Ukrainian people, who refuse to give up in the face of war and economic hardship.

Their boss shows the correspondent his emergency supplies and explains that if needed, they could survive on these provisions. So far, the plant has not been hit, but the risks are real.
The workers in the medals industry are doing their best to keep the machines running despite the danger. They know that this is war and that no one can possibly know what will happen tomorrow. They cannot afford not to be prepared and continue to work even though they have to seek shelter underground when necessary.
Other Ukrainian Businesses Struggle with the Effects of War
Unfortunately, not every Ukrainian business has been as fortunate as the medals industry. Two Russian missiles hit a production site in Nepro, killing two people. Other companies have struggled with the effects of Russian attacks on Ukraine’s power system, losing around 450,000 euros in just one minute every time the power goes off.
Many customers in Europe are also afraid of working with Ukrainian suppliers due to the risks associated with the conflict. As a result, at least a quarter of the competitors of one Ukrainian business have gone out of business, with more bankruptcies expected to follow.
The ongoing conflict has also led to damage to infrastructure, making it difficult for businesses to keep up production. The Kiev School of Economics estimates that the total damage to infrastructure is almost 138 billion dollars, with most of the damage coming to residential housing, logistics, roads, and electricity.
The Kiev School of Economics Estimates Almost $138 Billion in Infrastructure Damage
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has taken a heavy toll on the country’s infrastructure. The Kiev School of Economics estimates that the total damage to infrastructure is almost 138 billion dollars, with most of the damage coming to residential housing, logistics, roads, and electricity.
Most of the damage is coming to the residential housing sector, with five to seven percent of all housing in the country having been destroyed. The damage has not been uniform, with the east of Ukraine and northern areas and the south where the fighting has taken place being the most affected.
Infrastructure related to logistics, roads, and electricity has also suffered significant damage. Recovering from the damage requires focusing on electricity and logistics, roads, bridges, connections, and houses. This will require significant investment in infrastructure, both from the Ukrainian government and international donors.
Challenges Facing the Ukrainian Economy and Reconstruction
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has created significant challenges for the Ukrainian economy and reconstruction efforts. The labor force has been heavily impacted by the war, with tens of thousands of people wounded or killed and millions leaving the country. The loss of skilled workers is making it difficult for businesses to find people to fill positions, leading to further economic challenges.
Additionally, many customers in Europe are afraid of working with Ukrainian suppliers due to the risks associated with the conflict. This has led to a loss of business and further economic challenges for Ukrainian companies.
To stabilize the Ukrainian economy, experts agree that the war must end, international support is necessary, and the power grid and infrastructure must be improved to provide companies with sufficient electricity to operate. However, the challenges facing the Ukrainian economy and reconstruction efforts are significant and will require significant investment and effort to overcome.
Industries Persevere Despite Adversity
Despite the challenges facing the Ukrainian economy and the ongoing conflict, many industries continue to persevere. The medals industry in the Nepro region is just one example of the resilience of the Ukrainian people.
Workers in other industries, such as manufacturing, are also doing their best to keep up production despite the risks. Generators have made a significant difference, allowing workers to prevent uncontrolled shutdowns and buy time to stabilize temperature until the mains electricity returns.
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has created significant challenges for the country’s economy and reconstruction efforts. However, the resilience of the Ukrainian people and industries gives hope for the future. With international support and investment in infrastructure, there is the potential for the Ukrainian economy to recover and prosper in the years to come.
In conclusion, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine has taken a heavy toll on the country’s economy and infrastructure, with significant challenges facing reconstruction efforts. However, despite the risks and challenges, many industries continue to operate and persevere, highlighting the resilience of the Ukrainian people. To stabilize the Ukrainian economy, international support and investment in infrastructure are necessary, with a focus on improving the power grid and logistics. With effort and investment, there is hope for the Ukrainian economy to recover and prosper in the future.
