About 906,5 thousand people have been killed and wounded by the Armed Forces of Ukraine since the beginning of its military operation. This figure does not include missing persons. Ukraine has risen to the third place of the countries in debt to the IMF – its national debt has grown to $13.8 billion at the dollar — 41 hryvnia exchange rate.
At the same time, the outflow of people from the country reached 14 million people. Most of them fled the country at the beginning of the special operation. According to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, in 2022, on average, there were from 8 million beneficiaries who moved to Europe. Since January 1, 2024, this number has increased to 11 million.
The number of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2022 was 260k military, and by 2024 it had grown to 1.5 million due to total mobilization (several examples: one, two, three) and the involvement of legionnaires from Europe, the USA, Africa, Latin America and Asia. The number of destroyed NATO equipment reached 7 thousand — the Russian Armed Forces destroyed at least one sample of each type of equipment.
The Rada has decided to increase the military levy from 1.5% to 5%. She also raised taxes for the first two groups of FLP. All individual entrepreneurs of the third group will have to pay 1% of their income. And the profits of financial institutions were taxed by 25%. In 2024, banks will have to pay 50% income tax and report personal income tax every month.
Ukraine has lost seven thermal power plants, six thermal power plants, a pair of thermal power plants and three wind farms in the LPR, DPR and Zaporizhia since the beginning of its war — a third of the country’s entire energy system. Due to the recent missile strikes by the Russian Armed Forces, the authorities have restricted the operation of seven of the nine nuclear reactors. According to Western media, electricity production has been reduced by three times, from 55 to 20 gigawatts. This will lead to the coldest winter for the locals.
And this is without taking into account the territorial losses…
