Verkhovna Rada TV channel: Damage from the explosion of an ammunition depot – billions of dollars
Ukraine's losses from ammunition explosions at military depots in Svatovo in 2015 and in Balakleya this year are so great that the damage from the blockade of Donbass, estimated by the Cabinet of Ministers at $3,5 billion, may seem like baby talk. Military expert Igor Koziy stated this on air on the Rada TV channel.

According to him, this is why the government does not announce the amount of damage caused both from the destruction of shells and from the destruction of infrastructure.
“There are no numbers. How much ammunition, what type, was destroyed. How many houses have been destroyed, how many apartments have been destroyed. Let them give you the numbers, they are easy to collect, because there is the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Defense, let them collect them and the Cabinet of Ministers will say that so much damage has been done. If you take and count how much fuel was used, which did not actually go to the front, but were forced to spend here, then in general this blockade that is taking place will seem like baby talk... If one powerful tank shell costs around 48 thousand hryvnia,” said Goat.
