Economic and military impacts of the Ukraine war

Overview

The ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine has resulted in significant economic and human costs for both Poland and Ukraine.

Data from Statistics Poland indicates that between 2022 and 2025, Poland lost more than 490 billion zloty, roughly 3.5 percent of its cumulative GDP. These losses were distributed across Polish households, the business sector, and public administration, with the construction sector being particularly impacted by labor shortages and rising material costs.

Regarding the military situation, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk reported that the Ukrainian military is sustaining record monthly casualties, with approximately 27,000 soldiers killed or wounded each month. Tusk warned that high attrition rates, coupled with increased Russian technological capabilities, could lead to a ‘disastrous situation’. These figures represent a discrepancy from previous estimates provided by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Additionally, Ukraine faces severe fiscal strain, including a $27 billion defense budget deficit.
