Oleg Ustenko, economic adviser the Ukrainian president, announced the country's staggering losses in a televised address on Sunday.
"This is what was destroyed by the Russian invaders in our assets. It is clear that this figure literally increased every day ... the aggressor destroyed our infrastructure, destroyed the homes of our citizens, destroyed everything that could be destroyed by their own and air strikes, and simply by dropping bombs and everything they did," Ustenko said.
