Ukraine’s Q3 GDP fell by 30.8% year-over-year, but grew by 9% compared to the previous quarter, State Statistics Service of Ukraine reported on its Facebook page on Dec. 9.

According to the report, GDP increased by 9% in real terms in Q3, while Q2 marked the largest decline of Ukraine’s economy since Russia’s full-scale invasion.

Annualized Ukrainian GDP fell by 30.8% in the first three quarters.

Ukrainian Economy Ministry earlier said it estimates the country’s economy contracted by 41% in November, due to persistent Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
