World Bank allocates $1.34 billion to Ukraine. Where funds will be directed

This was announced by the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal.

According to him, these funds will be used to pay pensions, teacher salaries, support IDPs and other priority state budget expenditures.

The majority of this funding package comprises $1.086 billion from the Japanese government, with the remaining portion consisting of grants from the United States, Switzerland, and the Ukraine Relief, Recovery, Reconstruction, and Reform Trust Fund (URTF).
