24 February 2022 · Direct contribution
The heaviest documented costs sit on mobilisation governance under martial law, not on a donor-brochure adjective.
He was PM on 24 February 2022 and through the years of mobilisation-law amendments that independent reporting recorded as controversial on fairness and enforcement. Reconstruction agencies sat under the cabinet. Those are completed governance facts, not unique embezzlement convictions unless a docket names him. Defensive war is context, not immunity.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy remains president. Confidence is medium where later audit findings sit between a statute and a welfare series. This paragraph is an assessment, not a substitute number.
Sorted by the size of this person’s signed contribution. The observed state is the indicator’s own reading, not this person’s doing.

An excerpt; the full analysis opens on request.
Denys Shmyhal was prime minister of Ukraine from 4 March 2020 through the invasion years. The president is commander-in-chief. The OP head gates. The PM implements. Rustem Umerov and Oleksandr Syrskyi are unresolved.
This page reuses ukraine-war. It does not mint a second war.
Mobilisation-law amendments and enforcement controversies in 2024 are the dated cabinet file. Independent wires recorded protests and fairness fights. He is PM. He is not every TCC officer.
They do not rebate mobilisation unfairness.
He ran the cabinet. The Rada wrote statutes. The OP gated. Sharing a defensive war is not a reason to drop the row.
Mobilisation governance attaches to ukraine-war. It is not a Soviet executive-power-concentration primary home.
No exact number. Direction may be negative where fairness costs dominate. A later genuine completed resignation gazette or a named audit judgment would be a different date. Umerov and Syrskyi remain names, not minted biographies.
