Ukraine's economy returned to growth in April after a decline in the first quarter, with gross domestic product up by 0.9%, driven by retail, food, and weapons production, Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said on Tuesday.

The growth helped mitigate the contraction in previous months, she said. GDP slipped by 0.2% in the first four months of the year.

In the first quarter of 2026, GDP shrank by 0.5% year-on-year, data showed.
