It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question:
Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from?

The Ukrainian economy collapsed by 30% in the first year of the war but has stabilised since then. This war is far from over but how will the economy recover from the vast destruction of its people and infrastructure?
