June 13, 2023 – Floods are only the latest challenge to conducting business in Ukraine, as the invasion of the country has inflicted both a human and economic toll.

While 63 percent of businesses have suffered significant negative effects in some form, only 2 percent suspended operations completely.

Visual form
Two-question horizontal bar comparison.
Layout / body structure
The chart is arranged in two stacked sections, with operations impact on top and sales impact below, and each section uses labeled horizontal bars to show the distribution of business outcomes.
What is being compared
It compares how Ukrainian businesses were affected by the war in terms of operational disruption and sales impact.
Measurement system
The measure is percent of surveyed businesses, with the sample size marked as n = 122 in both sections and values printed directly on the bars.
Visible structure inside the graphic
Each question is separated into its own row group, the bars are labeled with impact categories, and the largest bars are centered and annotated to show the dominant response types.
Main takeaway from the visual
The chart shows that severe disruption was common, but full shutdown was rare, which is why the wide middle bar for significant impact without suspension dominates the first section.
Key standout values or extremes
In the operations section, 63 percent reported significant impact without suspension of operations, while only 2 percent reported high impact with suspension of operations, making the resilience gap visible immediately.
