Four and a half years into Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the two economies have followed markedly different trajectories: Russia's wartime economy has survived on the strength of state spending, despite sanctions and labor shortages, while Ukraine has seen the emergence of a new high-tech sector even under continued bombardment, territorial loss, and mobilization — outcomes few predicted at the war's outset. Tymofiy Mylovanov, President of the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) — Ukraine's leading center for economic research and policy analysis — and former Ukrainian minister of economic development, trade, and agriculture, will assess how attrition and resilience are shaping both economies as the war enters its next phase. Oleg Itskhoki, Slusky Family Professor of Economics, will chair the discussion.
