Ukraine's Economy and Environment Minister Oleksandr Kravchenko told The Guardian that air-raid sirens warning of Russian attacks cost the economy roughly $45 million per hour, with Ukraine sometimes under alert for up to 10 hours a day. The alerts force most businesses to halt operations as employees take shelter, compounding losses already caused by direct damage to infrastructure. According to the report, fixed asset damage from Russian strikes has reached $10 billion so far this year, highlighting the scale of economic disruption caused by the ongoing bombardment even when strikes themselves cause no direct damage.
