On average, the forced operational downtime of Ukrainian shopping centers due to airraid warnings reached 99.7 working days since the beginning of Russias fullscale invasion of Ukraine, with 3.5 working days recorded in January 2025.
Background The percentage of airraid warnings issued during the operation of shopping malls had increased for three months in a row, reaching 11.8 in November 2024, the highest amount in the previous six months.
The European Business Association appealed to the Ukrainian Minister of Economy and the Minister of Internal Affairs, suggesting the implementation of a targeted alert system.
This system would restrict alerts to areas with genuine threats, rather than entire oblasts.
