Ukraine's State Statistics Service revised down its economic growth estimate by one and a half times, reporting that GDP grew by only 0.4% in the second quarter of 2026. The downward revision reflects the continued strain the war is placing on Ukraine's economy, including disruptions to industry and infrastructure. The figure adds to a string of recent economic indicators, including declining steel production, pointing to a broader slowdown as Russian strikes continue to target Ukrainian industrial and energy infrastructure.
