Ukraine’s Reconstruction Costs Rise to $524 Billion After Three Years of War

A new assessment highlights extensive damage to infrastructure and livelihoods, with housing, energy, and agriculture among the hardest-hit sectors.

The World Bank, United Nations, European Commission, and Ukrainian government estimate Ukraine’s reconstruction needs at $524 billion, a 7% increase from last year’s assessment of $486 billion.
Direct damage from Russian attacks has reached $176 billion, with a 70% rise in damage to energy infrastructure compared to the previous year.
Housing has suffered the most damage, accounting for $84 billion of long-term reconstruction needs, followed by transport at $78 billion and energy at $68 billion.
Ukraine’s agricultural sector alone has incurred $11.2 billion in direct losses, with $55 billion required for full recovery and rebuilding.
Despite allocating $7.37 billion for 2025 recovery efforts, Ukraine faces a $10 billion funding gap to address priority needs, including energy infrastructure and housing.
