Over nine percent of children in Russia were estimated to fall into poverty additionally due to the economic crisis caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, based on the analysis from 2022. Russia had the most children among Eastern European and Central Asian countries.

The economic decline caused by the war was also projected to increase adult poverty across the region, though to a lesser extent.
