As a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the global economy is estimated to contract by **** percent in 2022. Furthermore, due to sanctions imposed on Russia, its economy is projected to decline by *** percent in 2022 and by **** percent in 2023.

In 2023, more than ** percent of foreign investors in Poland said that energy and raw material costs had short-term economic consequences resulting from Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

This paper examines how the decision-makers manage and deal with the Russian invasion from an economic perspective. The consequences of the made decisions in the long and short terms. Meantime, how were the European-American people influenced by these decisions, and to what extent did these decisions affect the economy of other nations? Consequently, to what extent could the current global financial system be exposed? Regardless of the damage and paralysis that this administration has caused to the Russian economy. We also discuss the beginning of the Russian threat and the precautions that should have been taken to avoid today's economic crisis. We also address the concept of the current applied siege model and mechanisms that can directly affect and weakening-off the regimes. Finally, we discuss the invasion of the Russian Federation and how this humanitarian catastrophe can be ended. Finally, we propose a scenario for ending the humanitarian and economic catastrophe caused by the Russian-Ukraine invasion.

Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February, we've looked at which industries across the globe are likely to be most affected by the economic effects of the invasion.

How is the economic impact of the Russia-Ukraine invasion – including Western sanctions on Russia and disruption to oil supply – expected to affect UK industries?

Over nine percent of children in Russia were estimated to fall into poverty additionally due to the economic crisis caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, based on the analysis from 2022. Russia had the most children among Eastern European and Central Asian countries. Furthermore, five percent of the Ukrainian child population was expected to experience poverty as a result of the economic shock. The economic decline caused by the war was also projected to increase adult poverty across the region, though to a lesser extent.

The damage to housing facilities from the Russian invasion of Ukraine was estimated at 57.6 billion U.S. dollars between February 24, 2022, and December 31, 2024. A further 36.7 billion U.S. dollars were recorded in losses from damages to transportation. The total war damage to Ukrainian sectors was estimated at 176 billion U.S. dollars over that period. War impact on the Ukrainian economy Ukraine’s gross domestic product (GDP) fell by 29 percent in 2022 as a result of the Russian invasion and was expected to grow by four percent in between 2023 and 2024. On the one hand, the country suffers from damage to its infrastructure which would require time and financial resources to be restored. On the other hand, the war threatens Ukraine’s international trade. The military actions disrupt the routes used for transporting goods for exports and imports. In July 2022, a deal has been signed between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul to provide for a corridor for Ukrainian grain exports via the Black Sea; however, it was suspended a year after. Which are the largest industries in Ukraine? Wholesale and retail trade occupied the largest share of the GDP of Ukraine, at nearly 14 percent in 2021. Agriculture, having ranked second with over 10 percent, was another major sector, especially important for export trade. The value added by agriculture, forestry, and fishing reached over seven percent of Ukraine’s GDP in 2023.

CURATING DATASETS IS TIME CONSUMING AND DIFFICULT, SO IF YOU FIND THE CONTENT USEFUL, PLEASE LEAVE AN UPVOTE! THANK YOU! 🙏

This is what real world data looks like! It is often messy, complicated, and leaves you wondering what you can even do with it. That is the fun and difficulty of data science. You have information, but what can you do with it? Should you try to use machine learning? Should you use statistics? That is for you to find out! 😄

About the Dataset

This dataset contains information regarding the ongoing Ukrainian and Russian conflict data dating back to 2014. There are two CSV files in this dataset. One contains data from 2014 to 2021, the other contains data from 2018 to 2023. Use your data science skills to better understand a conflict that is happening in real time! This is an excellent project for those looking to better understand global events or who are looking to work on a dataset with greater implications and a larger impact than a cat vs. dog classifier. 👍

I will be contributing to this dataset as new data becomes available, so stay tuned!

About the Conflict

The Ukraine-Russia conflict began in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine, but the history of these two nations goes back much further than 2014. Since then, pro-Russian separatists have been fighting Ukrainian government forces in the Donbas region of Eastern Ukraine. The conflict has resulted in thousands of deaths and the displacement of over 1.5 million people.

In 2022, the conflict escalated again, with Russia mobilizing its military near the Ukrainian border and launching a large-scale invasion in February. Ukrainian forces have been engaged in heavy fighting with Russian troops and separatist militias, resulting in a humanitarian crisis and significant civilian casualties.

The international community has condemned Russia's actions and imposed economic sanctions on the country. Diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict, including negotiations and ceasefires, have not been successful so far. The conflict remains ongoing and the situation is highly volatile.

In response to the invasion of Ukraine, the EU and most other advanced economies imposed extensive sanctions on Russia, intending to harm its production capabilities and hinder its economic activities by restricting its access to international trade and financial markets. This paper develops an empirical framework based on the synthetic control method to assess the impact of the war and the following sanctions on bilateral and sectoral exports to Russia almost in real time. The war and the following sanctions reduced aggregate exports to Russia by a third between March and December 2022, with the effects being stronger for sanctioning countries than for non-sanctioning ones, albeit with substantial country-level heterogeneity within each group. Exports to Russia in high-tech sectors--relatively more targeted by trade sanctions--have been disproportionately affected.

According to the estimates, between 2025 and 2035, around 84 billion U.S. dollars would be needed to financially recover Ukraine's residential buildings industry from the damages caused by the Russian invasion that began in 2022. Furthermore, the costs of recovery and reconstruction of the transportation sector were measured at roughly 78 billion U.S. dollars. Ukraine would also need funds to manage explosive hazards in the following years, whose management costs were estimated at 30 billion U.S. dollars over this period.

The Citizens' Pulse surveys examine Finnish attitudes and opinions in the context of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). Main themes in the surveys include the activity and communication of authorities, compliance with regulations, future expectations, trust, and the respondents' own state of mind. This collection round also included questions on the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Finland's foreign policy and international relations. The fifth collection round of 2023 surveyed the respondents' trust in various institutions (e.g. the Finnish Government, the health care system, the media, and the Finnish Defence Forces). The respondents were asked to evaluate how fair or unfair they thought Finnish society was at present, and their state of mind was examined with questions on various matters relating to health, well-being, and their situation in life. The questions covered, for example, the respondents' own mental well-being, whether they were worried about the adequacy of their income, their confidence in their future, and experiences of stress. Additionally, the respondents were asked to evaluate whether an atmosphere of crisis prevailed amongst Finns and whether Finland's NATO membership had affected their sense of safety. The next set of questions focused on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The respondents were asked how concerned they were about the crisis in Ukraine and its effects and whether they were concerned that the war might expand beyond Ukraine. Opinions on the economic sanctions imposed on Russia by the EU and whether Finland should be ready to receive significant numbers of refugees from Ukraine if necessary were charted. Additionally, the respondents were asked whether the uncertainty caused by the crisis in Ukraine had impacted the respondents' consumer behaviour and whether the recent rise in interest rates had created financial difficulties for the respondents' households. The respondents were also asked whether they had noticed any cyber security issues or instances where purposefully misleading claims based on misinformation were spread on social media or online over the previous month. Interest in Finnish foreign policy and international relations were also surveyed with questions on whether the respondents' interest in Finnish foreign policy and international relations had changed over the past 12 months. Views on the current state of Finland's foreign policy and international relations were charted, and the respondents were asked about the ways in which they felt they could have an impact on Finland's foreign policy and international relations (e.g. voting in parliamentary elections, protesting, participating in party politics). Background variables included the respondent's gender, age group, NUTS3 region of residence, highest level of education, household composition, perceived financial situation of household.

International political (IP) relations have long been concerned about the relationship between economic interdependence and the likelihood of war. Based on a systematic literature review, this paper investigates how globalization and increased economic interactions post-World War II have influenced global conflict dynamics. The review contrasts liberal and realist schools of thought, with liberals suggesting that economic interdependence reduces war likelihood due to high opportunity costs due to disrupted trade. Using similar arguments, the realists propose a positive relationship, arguing that war has a minimal impact on trade. The review reconciles these differing perspectives through a detailed examination of various studies conducted between 1977 and 2022, highlighting the neglected effect of moderator variables in interpreting results. It also discusses the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine on global food crises and economic dynamics, illustrating the contemporary relevance of this topic. The paper concludes by summarizing results and highlighting the influence of potential moderator variables on the relationship between economic interdependence and war likelihood.

Tweetplomacy 23 is a semantically annotated corpus of tweets capturing digital communicative interaction between international political leaders, peer groups and citizens in the wake of three major global crises: (1) the increasing emphasis on the security of energy supplies following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine; (2) the political and geo-economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic; (3) the intensified debate on the progression of climate change. These events occurred between 2018 and 2023, each of them marking a significant shake-up of the international system.

The dataset focuses on the strategic use of networked information on X (formerly Twitter) by executive political actors facing exogenous shocks in the context of a global crisis situation. It is extracted from an X archive covering more than 14 billion tweets collected from the 1% random sample API. To extract the dataset, we resort to a list of top executives of the political administration – heads of state, heads of government, ministers of foreign affairs – or their respective public-relations offices. Their tweets are filtered using a list of thematically relevant keywords in four languages (English, German, French, Spanish), reflecting the discourse with respect to the three crises mentioned above.

Our sample covers instances from the beginning of 2018 up to May 2023, representing statements made by leading politicians from 83 countries on all continents. As a subset, tweets published by the political leaders of the 38 member states of the OECD and the five BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) have been extracted. Additionally, the sample comprises a selection of 10 international organizations.

The entire data collection consists of the following files: (1) users: excel file with a list of 654 Twitter user handles(usernames) of top executives of the political administration (and/or their institutional accounts), their nationalities, functions/roles and tenure; (2) keywords: excel file with a list of 60 crisis-related keywords (five keywords for each of the three individual crises in four languages); (3) a gzipped JSONL file per language: each line in the JSONL files represents a JSON object containing metadata about a tweet matching either one or more of the user handles and one or more of the keywords in the respective language. Additionally, semantic enrichments (i.e., entities and sentiments) calculated on the basis of the tweet text are provided. The JSON object includes the following fields:

tweetId: integer
timeStamp: format ("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss Z yyyy")
userName: JSON object, for private persons containing the MD5 hashed of the username; for the public persons in the user list containing the username and the MD5 hashed of the username userBio: string (available only for public users in the user list)
followers: integer
friends: integer
retweets: integer
favorites: integer
replies: integer
matchingKeywords: list of strings representing the matching keywords
matchingUserMentions: list of strings representing the matching user mentions
matchingUserName: string representing the matching user names
sentiments: JSON object containing the output of the VADER sentiment analysis tool (available only for German, English and French).
entities: JSON object containing the output of Entity Fishing named entity linking tool
hashtags: list of strings containing the hashtags extracted from the tweet text
mentions: list of strings containing the mentions extracted from the tweet text
urls: JSON object containing short URLs extracted from the tweet text and their resolved URLs

The dataset may serve to track and examine the repercussions/resonance produced by the ‘digital audience’ of the most influential political leaders in the course of the three crises, thus hinting at the political and societal impact their communicative actions had in the digital realm. Additionally, changes in sentiments, argumentation and/or tonality as well as more general breakpoints of discussion might be identified by conducting in-depth analyses of the online discourse relating to each of the three debates.

Ultimately, the data may yield new insights into networks of communication among ‘online champions’ in the diplomatic community with regard to...

Building contractors and developers depend on various socio-economic factors, including property values, underlying sentiment in the housing market, the degree of optimism among downstream businesses and credit conditions. All of these drivers typically track in line with economic sentiment, with recent economic shocks spurring a difficult period for building contractors and developers. Nonetheless, the enduring need for building services, particularly to tackle housing shortages across the continent, ensures a strong foundation of work. Revenue is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of 2.3% to reach €1.3 trillion over the five years through 2025. Operational and supply chain disruption caused by the pandemic reversed the fortunes of building contractors and developers in 2020, as on-site activity tumbled and downstream clients either cancelled, froze or scaled back investment plans. Aided by the release of pent-up demand and supportive government policy, building construction output rebounded in 2021. Excess demand for key raw materials led to extended lead times during this period, while input costs recorded a further surge as a result of the effects of rapidly climbing energy prices following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Soaring construction costs and the impact of interest rate hikes on both the housing market and investor sentiment led to a renewed slowdown in building construction activity across the continent. However, falling inflation and the start of an interest rate cutting cycle have spurred signs of a recovery in new work volumes, supporting anticipated revenue growth of 2.3% in 2025. Revenue is forecast to increase at a compound annual rate of 6.7% to €1.7 trillion over the five years through 2030. Activity is set to remain sluggish in the medium term, as weak economic growth and uncertainty surrounding the impact of the volatile global tariff environment on inflation and borrowing costs continue to weigh on investor sentiment. Contractors and developers will increasingly rely on public sector support, including measures to boost the supply of new housing, as countries seek to tackle severe housing shortages. Meanwhile, the introduction of more stringent sustainability requirements will drive demand for energy retrofits.

The Citizens' Pulse surveys examine Finnish attitudes and opinions on current issues. Main themes in the surveys include the activity of authorities, future expectations, trust, and the respondents' own state of mind. This collection round also included questions on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, sustainability, physical activities, and issues that the Finnish government should address. The first collection round of 2025 surveyed the respondents' satisfaction with the state of democracy in Finland, as well as their trust in other people and various institutions (e.g. the Finnish Government, the health care system, the media, and the Finnish Defence Forces). The respondents were asked to evaluate how fair or unfair they thought Finnish society was at present, and their state of mind was examined with questions on various matters relating to well-being. The questions covered, for example, the respondents' own mental well-being, whether they were worried about the adequacy of their income, their confidence in their future, and experiences of stress. The respondents' views were investigated on which societal issues (e.g. promotion of climate action, national defence, poverty reduction, effective healthcare, operating conditions of businesses and investment opportunities) the Finnish government should focus on in the near future. Additionally, the respondents were asked whether Finland's NATO membership had impacted their sense of safety. The next set of questions focused on the Russian invasion of Ukraine and national security in Finland. The respondents were asked how concerned they were about the crisis in Ukraine and its effects, and whether they were concerned that the war might expand beyond Ukraine. The respondents were also asked whether they were concerned that Russia might take military action against Finland or try to interfere with the functioning of Finnish society. Opinions on the economic sanctions imposed on Russia by the EU and whether Finland should be ready to receive significant numbers of refugees from Ukraine if necessary were charted. The respondents were asked whether Finland's response to Russian interference has been adequate and timely, and whether the respondents were concerned about Russia's recent actions. The respondents were also asked whether they had noticed any cyber security issues or instances where purposefully misleading claims based on misinformation were spread on social media or online over the previous month. Voting intentions in the 2024 county and municipal elections in Finland were surveyed by asking the respondents whether they intended to vote in the election, whether they intended to vote during the early voting period or on election day, and whether they felt that by voting they could have an impact on matters that were important to them and the people close to them. The sustainability theme examined whether sufficient measures have been taken in Finland to promote the well-being of nature, people and the economy. Finally, the respondents were asked whether they had been exercising according to the physical activity recommendations in Finland for the past six months and whether they had changed their physical activity behaviour. It was also asked whether the respondents have heard of the 'Get Finland Moving' programme. The cross-governmental, government-level programme is coordinated by the Ministry of Education and Culture. Background variables included the language responded in, the respondent's gender, age group, NUTS3 region of residence, highest level of education, household composition, and perceived financial situation of household.

The Russian advertising market was forecast to grow by ** percent in 2025, at a significantly lower rate compared to the previous year. In 2022, the market experienced a decline due to the economic effects of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Can foreign conflicts affect attitudes in nonbelligerent countries? A large literature studies the effects of conflicts and wars on countries that are directly involved, without considering the potential consequences for other nonbelligerent countries that might nevertheless be threatened. To address this question, we examine how the Russian invasion of Ukraine affected 12 economic and political attitudes using survey data covering eight European countries. We use a natural experiment whereby the timing of the invasion overlapped with the fieldwork of a cross-national individual-level survey in these eight countries. We find that the war increased support for democracy, redistribution, support for Europe, and immigration, while it reduced authoritarian attitudes. Our findings highlight the impact of foreign conflicts on a wide range of attitudes in countries that are externally threatened, but neither directly involved militarily, nor necessarily very close to the conflict.

Nonetheless, the enduring need for building services, particularly to tackle housing shortages across the continent, ensures a strong foundation of work. Revenue is forecast to decline at a compound annual rate of 2.9% to €1.1 trillion over the five years through 2024. Building construction output recorded strong and consistent growth across Europe in the years leading up to the pandemic, buoyed by rising house prices and a return to economic stability as the effects of the financial crisis faded. Operational and supply chain disruption caused by the pandemic reversed the fortunes of building contractors and developers in 2020, as on-site activity tumbled and downstream clients either cancelled, froze or scaled back investment plans. Aided by the release of pent-up demand and supportive government policy, building construction output rebounded in 2021. Excess demand for key raw materials led to extended lead times during this period, while input costs recorded a further surge as a result of the effects of rapidly climbing energy prices following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Soaring costs and the impact of the economic slowdown on both the housing market and investor sentiment have led to a renewed slowdown in building construction activity across the continent. Revenue is forecast to decline by 1.5% in 2024. Revenue is forecast to increase at a compound annual rate of 4.9% to €1.5 trillion over the five years through 2029. Activity is set to remain sluggish in the medium term, as weak economic growth continues to constrain investor sentiment and high borrowing costs hold back the housing market. Contractors and developers will increasingly rely on public sector support, including measures to boost the supply of new housing as countries seek to tackle severe housing shortages.
