Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal says that from the point of view of state budget expenditures, a day of war costs UAH 2 billion, and from the point of view of losses – $4 billion.
“There are two numbers. How much a day of war costs in terms of state budget expenditures, how much we pay, and how much we need. This is in the region of UAH 2 billion, which is what it costs us to conduct hostilities, pay wages, and so on. And there are other expenses – $4 billion in losses, which costs us every day of the war in terms of the destruction of our infrastructure, the loss of economic potential, the loss of future GDP,” Shmyhal said in an interview on the air of the national telethon on Friday morning.
The prime minister said that Ukraine’s losses are, among other things, a reduction in the sowing campaign by 20% and the inability to fully realize its export potential.
Ukrainians affected by the war will be able to be treated in the EU countries, the press service of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine has said on Thursday.
According to the Health Ministry, treatment abroad became possible thanks to the initiative of the Ministry of Cooperation with the European Commission (Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety DG SANTE) regarding the treatment abroad of Ukrainians affected by Russian military aggression.
The Health Ministry said that now Ukrainian patients after evacuation can be referred for treatment to clinics of member countries of the European Union (EU). The evacuation process will be mediated by the Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC).
The Emergency Response Coordination Centre, the European Civil Protection Mechanism, is regularly activated to respond to emergencies. It also ensures the rapid deployment of emergency support and acts as a focal point between all EU member states.
The general meeting of shareholders of a joint-stock company (JSC) during the war can only be held remotely, such changes to the decision on the functioning of the management bodies of the JSC for the period of martial law were made by the National Commission on Securities and the Stock Market of Ukraine (NKTSBFR).
“Their organization must comply with the rules of the Interim Procedure for Convening and Remote Holding of a General Meeting of Shareholders and a General Meeting of Participants of a Corporate Investment Fund,” the regulator said in a statement.
The corresponding decision of the National Securities and Stock Market Commission No. 250 of April 4 is published on its website and has already entered into force.
As previously reported, the Commission extended the powers of the management bodies of the JSC, which expire during the period of martial law, if it is impossible to hold a general meeting of shareholders.
“The general meeting of shareholders of the joint-stock company must be held within 90 days after the end of martial law,” the decision of the regulator No. 177 of March 16 specified.
By another decision, No. 176 of March 16, the NSMSC approved the procedure for holding a general meeting for the period of martial law. The key changes compared to the usual procedure was the possibility of placing a voting ballot in free access for shareholders no later than nine days, and candidates for JSC bodies no later than three days before the date of the meeting.
In addition, various protocols of the voting meeting can be signed with a qualified electronic signature.
Another condition for holding the meeting is the inclusion in the list of shareholders and notification of the owners of at least 95% of the company’s shares (excluding shares in the accounts of custodians who left the market and excluding shares bought out by JSCs).

“OHCHR believes that the actual figures are much higher as information is delayed from some areas of intense fighting and many reports are still awaiting confirmation,” the document says.
According to him, this applies, for example, to Mariupol and Volnovakha (Donetsk region), Izyum (Kharkiv region), Popasnaya (Luhansk region), Borodyanka (Kyiv region), where there are reports of numerous civilian casualties. They are subject to further verification and are not included in the above statistics.
