Ivan Fedorov, head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration, announced this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

"Every strike is a direct blow to businesses, people, and our region's economy. Nearly 700 industrial facilities have been damaged in the region, and almost 300 have been hit more than once," Fedorov said.

Despite the extremely challenging conditions, businesses in the Zaporizhzhia region have paid more than UAH 6.2 billion in taxes since the beginning of 2026, exceeding last year's figure, he added.

Fedorov said the region is already benefiting from state-backed concessional loan programs, grant programs for launching and expanding businesses, and compensation mechanisms.

Last year, local businesses received UAH 23.6 million in support – the highest level of assistance in the past decade. This year, UAH 15 million has been allocated for grants and another UAH 10 million to compensate interest rates on business loans.

In addition, tax holidays have been introduced for businesses in the city of Zaporizhzhia and the Zaporizhzhia region, while part of the cost of companies' contributions to the state war-risk insurance program is also being reimbursed.

"Today, the Zaporizhzhia region is home to resilient people and resilient businesses. Entrepreneurs are the foundation of the region's economic resilience and its future recovery," Fedorov said.

As reported, the city of Zaporizhzhia is introducing a new system to warn residents about potential Russian strikes targeting urban infrastructure.
