"Ukraine will receive a $1.7 billion grant from a Single Donor Trust Fund created by the International Development Bank, the International Development Association and USAID. The relevant draft agreement has been approved at a government meeting today. These are the results of agreements reached by development partners because of Russia's large-scale aggression against Ukraine,” Shmyhal wrote.
