Bond.az - Ukraine's economy expanded 0.9% in April, marking a return to growth after a contraction in the first quarter, Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said on Tuesday.

The growth was driven by retail, the food sector, and weapons production.

The April expansion helped offset earlier declines this year. GDP fell 0.2% in the first four months of 2026, while the first quarter saw a 0.5% contraction year-on-year.
