The material states that threats associated with the Ukraine conflict will cost approximately €175 billion of added value, which when adjusted for prices, amounts to about 4.5% of GDP.
According to the researchers, in addition to the losses due to the COVID-19 epidemic, Germany will lose 595 billion euros.
