The minister added that last year, as indicated by data from the State Statistics Service, Ukraine’s GDP grew by 5.3%. The GDP growth was driven by the resilience of Ukrainian businesses, as 90% of the companies that had stopped working since the beginning of the invasion have resumed business.

In addition, Ukraine has received more than USD 75.4 billion in direct budget support from partners since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.
