Ukraine’s national debt in relation to GDP was also unsustainable, having increased to nearly 80 percent in 2015. Russia, formerly Ukraine’s most important trade partner, no longer played this role, having caused a great shift in the country’s base economy. The inflation rate had risen to almost 50 percent, and unemployment reached over nine percent. Life in general became increasingly difficult for Ukrainians, not only because of the conflict, but also because of the country’s economic issues.

This very severe decrease was mainly due to the armed conflict in the eastern part of the country, which was causing many of its inhabitants to be internally displaced. In just two years, between 20, GDP in Ukraine was dramatically reduced to half its amount. To compare, in the previous year, the country's GDP stood at over 156 billion U.S. In 2021, Ukraine's gross domestic product (GDP) was estimated at nearly 200 billion U.S.
