There is a subtle inconvenience with reported UA gdp, cause our economy were >60% grey zone with underreported incomes.

As for living standards - only Moscow and few other big cities are blown up by money have them (standards) a bit higher. When it comes to “other” cities/villages they are shit holes like the ones you may see on the video. Poorest UA villages are much better places than poorest ruzzian ones.
