“The United States has provided $18 billion in budget support to the Government of Ukraine through World Bank mechanisms. An additional $4.9 billion will become available in September. This funding, along with support from the EU, the IMF and others, allows the government to provide critical services for its citizens while fighting Russia’s brutal aggression,” reported the US Department of State.
The Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal was on a working visit to the USA on April 12-14, 2023. He took part in the annual Spring Meetings forum of the IMF and the World Bank.
