The World Bank on Tuesday announced an additional $1.5
billion in aid for Ukraine, bringing the total planned support package to more
than $4 billion.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine in late February has created
a humanitarian crisis and devastated the country's economy, destroying
infrastructure and blocking key grain exports, as well as draining the
government's ability to pay its bills.
The new financing will be used to pay wages for government
and social workers, the development lender said in a statement, noting that
with the new funds nearly $2 billion has been disbursed so far.
The World Bank "is providing continuing support for
Ukraine and its people in the face of the ongoing war," bank President
David Malpass said in a statement.
"We are working with donor countries to mobilize
financial support and leveraging the flexibility of our various financing
instruments to help provide Ukrainians with access to health services,
education and social protection."
However, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has said his
government needs a total of $7 billion a month in aid to continue to function.
