Ukraine's Ambassador to Hungary, Fyodor Shandor, said that Ukraine has sustained approximately $600 billion in damage during its ongoing conflict with Russia, according to Russian state news agency TASS.
Shandor reportedly added that the figures are growing day by day as the conflict continues, though the ambassador's remarks as relayed did not detail a specific breakdown of the losses.
The statement reflects Ukraine's broader efforts to document and publicize the economic toll of the war, which has included damage to infrastructure, housing, industry and other sectors since the conflict began.
TASS, a Russian state-controlled outlet, did not include independent verification of the figure in its report, and the estimate is attributed solely to the ambassador's comments.
