About this chart
Russia remains ahead of Ukraine throughout the shared annual GDP series from 1988 to 2025. In the final year, the comparison is $2,561.31 billion against $214.23 billion. The 2025 gap is $2,347.08 billion, and the larger total is about 11.96 times the smaller one. This compares the size of the two economies, not income per resident.
At the start of the common series in 1988, Russia recorded $554.83 billion and Ukraine recorded $74.70 billion. The World Bank reports these totals in current US dollars. Inflation and exchange rates can change this comparison, so a rising dollar total does not by itself establish real economic growth. A purchasing-power or per-person comparison would answer a different question.
