🔥 Destruction of warehouses in Ukraine: why this is not the 2022 crisis and what it threatens the economy with? Experts warn: the comparison with the fuel crisis is erroneous. The aggressor is physically destroying infrastructure, not just blocking supply channels. 📉 What is happening: • Kharkiv and Sumy risk becoming "energy islands" due to the destruction of gas stations. • Goods worth tens of millions of dollars have been burnt (Rozetka, Amtel warehouses). • Who pays? No one. There is no insurance for war risks, state compensation is symbolic. 💸 Result: Prices will rise by 10–15%. Businesses are forced to pass losses on to buyers. #Ukraine #Economy #Logistics #War #PriceHikes
