Ukraine's economy is incurring significant losses, estimated at $45 million for each hour that missile alerts disrupt business operations, as reported by the economy minister. The ongoing Russian bombardment has intensified, targeting critical infrastructure and forcing many workers into shelters, leading to repeated economic standstills.
To mitigate these impacts, the government has implemented a two-tier alert system. While 'yellow' alerts allow some businesses to remain operational, the recent strike during such an alert underscores the persistent risks faced by the economy amidst the conflict.
