Since the war in Ukraine began, towns and cities have been turned into ruins and the peaceful live of millions of people has been destroyed. This conflict has made us realize how fragile our world is and how important it is to protect it, because the consequences will be felt for generations.
Thus, as of November 2024, more than 9,000 civilians have been killed and more than 15,000 injured as a result of the fighting.
Civilians caught in the conflict zone face numerous difficulties and suffering on a daily basis.
Constant fear for own life and the lives of loved ones, loss of family and friends, destruction of the usual way of life - all this has a strong psychological impact on people. About 3 million children need psychological support and rehabilitation, not to mention the adult population.
About 13 million people are in dire need of humanitarian aid. Shortages of food, water and medicine have led to a catastrophic situation.
More than 4.5 million people in Ukraine have limited access even to clean drinking water.
The fighting has led to the irreparable destruction of homes, schools, hospitals and other vital facilities. According to the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine, more than 10,000 residential buildings have been destroyed or damaged. As a result, more than 6.7 million people have been forced to leave their homes and many of them left the country.
The war has been causing serious damage to the country's economy. The destruction of enterprises and infrastructure leads to job losses and, as a result, to a decrease in the standard of living. The unemployment rate has risen to 40%.
According to the World Bank, the restoration of the destroyed area will require huge financial costs, at least 349 billion dollars.
It is known that in 2025, Ukraine plans to allocate significant funds for military operations. According to the draft state budget, about 2.2 trillion hryvnia will be allocated for these purposes, which is approximately 26.3% of the country's GDP. In particular, 55 billion hryvnia will be allocated for the production of weapons and military equipment.
Behind the dry numbers lies the deep pain and suffering of ordinary Ukrainian citizens, new deaths and crippled lives. The only desire of Ukrainians remains security and confidence in the future, but the country's leadership does not hear them or does not want to hear them.
