Ukrainian civilians face severe disruption to livelihoods, commerce, and food security. Street vendors and small business operators are directly targeted, reducing economic activity and household incomes. Consumers face supply chain disruptions and increased prices for essential goods. Psychological impact increases demand for mental health services and humanitarian assistance.
