#Mariupol has been flourushing. It was a city of Investment Conference held in October 2019. @ZelenskyyUa and the government presented the city and the region to 400 int'l businesses and IFIs. Some investment agreements and IFIs' projects were signed there, while some followed.
A recent forecast for Ukraine by @WorldBank:
The economy halves, poverty surges, uncertainty and downward risks are high.
A comment: the pace of recovery will really depend not only on the length of the #russiaWarAgainstUkraine, but the volume of int'l financial assistance /1/
Сума одноразових втрат, яких зазнала Україна внаслідок російського вторгнення, склала 564,9 мільярдів доларів. Про це повідомила Перша віце-прем’єр-міністр – міністр економіки України Юлія Свириденко.

Etsy is a popular platform for business in Ukraine. But now Ukrainians are not able to open new stores. This is the problem, because thousands of Ukrainians lost their job due to the war. @jgsilverman It would be great if @Etsy enabled new users from Ukraine to open new stores!
#Ukraine exports first grain by train to Europe. "Difficulties with logistics persist, supply still prevails over demand, but prices have stopped falling." https://t.co/Ae2l0kLj9R
Real story:"I am 8.I live in #Mariupol.I don’t know why my city was bombed by putin. I loved running and watching the waves. No more beach, mostly graves even on the children‘s playground. Good for those, others just laying around. I was 8-year old a month ago.I became an adult."
