This is five times more than last June, according to a new comprehensive assessment by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the World Bank.
The largest share of losses falls on the electric power sector at almost $6.5B, where the share of damage to nuclear power plants is $0.77B.
At the same time, Ukraine’s urgent needs for emergency repairs of critical infrastructure facilities (electricity and heat supply) are assessed by UNDP and the World Bank at more than $1.2B.
At the same time, the World Bank’s director of operations for Eastern European countries, Gevorg Sargsyan, believes that recovery and reconstruction will allow Ukraine to achieve a more sustainable and ecological energy future.
