 The World Bank has approved $723 million in loans and grants for Ukraine as a country fired against a Russian invasion. The bank said it is continuing to work on another $3 billion package of support in the coming months for the country. It also promised extra help for neighboring countries that are taking in more than 1.7 million refugees, which are mostly women, children, and the elderly. In the statements, the bank's president, David Mopas, said the financial package for Ukraine includes a $100 million pledge from the UK. The bank said the fund would help Ukraine's government provide critical services, including wages for hospital workers, pensions for the elderly, and social programs for the vulnerable.
