“I invited the World Bank to reopen its representative office in Ukraine and emphasized that we are interested in cooperation during the post-war transformation of Ukraine, in particular, in overcoming corruption and reducing the share of cash in the Ukrainian economy,” Zelensky wrote.

As reported by Ukrinform, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal said that the World Bank would conduct a rapid assessment of the damage caused by Russia's blowing up of the Kakhovka HPP dam.
