Overview
- The fifth Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment (RDNA5) covers February 2022 through December 2025 and lifts the 10‑year reconstruction estimate by 12% from last year.
- Direct physical damage totals about $195 billion, with the steepest impacts in housing, transport and energy compared with prior assessments.
- Reconstruction needs are highest in transport (over $96 billion), followed by energy (nearly $91 billion) and housing (almost $90 billion), with 14% of homes damaged or destroyed affecting more than three million households.
- Socioeconomic losses are assessed at $667 billion as the war drives prolonged disruption to economic activity, public services and jobs, alongside mass displacement inside and outside Ukraine.
- The report notes at least $20 billion already spent on urgent repairs and over $15 billion planned for 2026 recovery programs, and says up to roughly 40% of total needs could come from private investment if targeted reforms proceed.
