Ukraine’s Economy and Environment Minister Oleksandr Kravchenko said missile alerts cost the country an estimated $45 million for every hour they force businesses to suspend operations. Russian attacks have caused about $10 billion in fixed-asset damage this year, hitting steel plants, warehouses, logistics hubs and data centers. The government is considering allowing more private companies to buy Ukrainian air-defense systems.
