The help, within the type of a brand new mortgage from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, is being assured by Britain to the tune of $500 million, with Denmark backing the remaining $30 million, the World Bank stated in an announcement on Friday.
“The toll of destruction, damage, and dislocation in Ukraine is staggering and continues to grow,” Anna Bjerde, the financial institution’s regional vice chairman for Europe and Central Asia, stated within the assertion.
“The Ukrainian people have a long road to recovery ahead and development partners will need to continue to pull together to support Ukraine’s reconstruction.”
Bjerde added that World Bank estimates put the price of reconstruction and restoration for Ukraine at $100 billion over the subsequent three years, “a figure that is expected to grow as the war continues.”
The financial institution stated it had already mobilized nearly $13 billion in emergency funding for Ukraine, $11 billion of which had already been disbursed.
Also on Friday, the US Congress accredited a brand new $12.3 billion help package deal for Ukraine, together with $3.7 billion in army gear.
The new funding got here on the identical day Russian President Vladimir Putin formally introduced the annexation of 4 Moscow-held areas of Ukraine.
