The World Bank will provide Ukraine with $4.8 billion under the PEACE project to finance key budget programmes. This was announced by the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal in a post on social media platform X on Friday, 22 November.
“This is a very important contribution that helps finance key budget programmes during the war. We are grateful to the United States and development partners who are funding this aid, providing critical support for our country and our people,” Shmyhal said.
