Russia’s diminished economic influence in Ukraine is outlined in a new study

Russia’s diminished economic influence in Ukraine is outlined in a new study by the Center for Economic Strategy: “Russian Economic Footprint in Ukraine.” Ukraine’s imports from Russia fell from 18% of Ukraine’s GDP in 2012, to 6% of GDP in 2019. Russia’s share of assets in Ukraine fell about 40% over the last decade, the study says. The number of Russian banks has fallen from 13 in 2009 to five today.
