Railway and transport damage losses of Donbas regions controlled by militants amounted to 251 mln USD, states to Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Petro Mehed, said UNIAN.
“Ten of Donbass enterprises are stopped, destroyed or even exported to Russia. Transport infrastructure is blocked. Railway losses reached a billion UAH, and motor transport infrastructure exceeded 201 mln USD,” said Mehed.
More than a thousand kilometers of roads of the region are damaged.
Mehed also claimed that "the important components of Russia hybrid war is its impact on the economic grounds of society”; energy infrastructure was in a special focus of the militants, because its destruction causes significant economic losses. The Deputy Minister said that the tough economic situation is used by Russia to "discredit the government of Ukraine and its European choice, undermining the image of our country as a reliable partner."
