The World Bank estimates that Ukraine’s total economic, social and other monetary losses from the war will be $499 billion by the end of 2023.

Is that a typo for 2024? “will be” “end of 2023”?

Looking into it; World Bank on 2024-02-15 (also):

currently estimates that as of 31 December 2023 the total cost of reconstruction and recovery in Ukraine is $486 billion over the next decade, up from $411 billion estimated one year ago

I don’t see those article numbers published from the world bank, but it’s higher than numbers from February, so presumably it should be end of 2024.

Depends on what you mean by independent.
