Ukraine economy growth slowed in 2025 due to war and strikes on critical energy infrastructure, yet the year still ended with positive growth of 1.8%.
The main drivers of slower growth were attacks on energy and logistics. Power outages directly hit industrial output and agriculture, forcing enterprises to stop or work partially.
Damage to transport infrastructure, especially railways, reduced shipment volumes and added delays, further lowering overall economic activity.
The assessment is that the war factor will remain dominant while hostilities continue, even though the fact of growth itself remains a positive signal for a country at war.
Official statistics show real GDP growth slowed from 3.2% in 2024 to 1.8% in 2025.
