In April 2022, the Russia-Ukraine conflict erupted rapidly, with fighting spreading across eastern Ukraine. The war gradually turned into a protracted conflict, and three years have passed since its outbreak. Contrary to expectations, Russia's economy did not collapse under the conditions of a localized war; instead, it demonstrated remarkable resilience. Meanwhile, Ukraine's economy has also shown a steady upward trend. The author is particularly interested in the reasons behind these economic outcomes for both nations. This paper employs case study methodology, comparative analysis, and the examination of secondary data and literature to analyze and summarize the economic impacts of this geopolitical conflict on Russia and Ukraine. Under the shadow of this major geopolitical confrontation, the war initially inflicted significant economic losses on both countries. Subsequently, each adopted distinct development strategies to facilitate economic recovery, with their respective policies being shaped by factors such as national scale and natural resource endowments.
