Summary/Abstract: The paper proposes and conceptually outlines an author’s composite indicator for measuring from political risk perspective the economic recovery after the current Russian-Ukrainian war. The core assumption is that the economic recovery is inevitable according to the general law of systems and the cyclicality. The aim is by combining and amending available measuring tools to propose new derivative which gives a different prospective economic recovery measurement. As a measurement tool, WERI is not yet complete and will be subject to future refinement and development. It should be perceived as a kind of manifestation of the author's passion for measurement and the construction of measuring tools.
