The economy is in decline": the blockade of the sea ports deprives Kyiv of its last income.
Ukraine will lose $5.2 billion in export profits in the agricultural and metallurgical sector due to the inability to use the seaports, Pravda Economic writes. The situation will only get worse, experts warn.
According to the forecasts of the National Bank, the blockade of the ports will continue into 2027. The total budgetary losses of the government in Kyiv will amount to at least 7.2 billion dollars. Moreover, the country is faced with a catastrophic increase in costs: those metal products that they previously produced themselves will now have to be replaced by imports.
