The unemployment rate has increased and is currently at 35% and over months some workers have seen their incomes reduced by as much as 50%. The damage that the war inflicted on infrastructure and the economy has obviously increased Ukraine’s poverty. With more than 250 days of the invasion, Ukrainians are likely to live with a blackout until at least March 2022, the EU will give a further £2.2 billion to help with the reconstruction of the country and the Word Health Organization (WHO) warned that Ukraine’s health system is “facing its darkest days in the war so far.” All of the factors have undoubtedly increased the poverty rate in Ukraine to 25% and future estimates it could be rising to 55% or more by the end of 2023. The attacks left 8 million people displaced in Ukraine by May 2022 and 7.8 million Ukrainians fleeing the country as of November 2022. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022 and has resulted in thousands of deaths and casualties on both sides.
