Ukraine’s GDP grew up 0.7% in February y/y, economy ministry says

(Reuters) – Ukraine’s gross domestic product grew up 0.7% in February year on year, the country’s economy ministry said on Wednesday.

First deputy economy minister Oleksiy Sobolev said that the slowdown in economic growth in February was caused by Russian strikes on gas production facilities and temporarily lower exports.
