  • IMF chief Georgieva and World Bank president Malpass say working together to support Ukraine on financing and policy fronts, and are urgently increasing that support
  • IMF, World Bank leaders say IMF board could consider Ukraine's request for emergency financing as early as next week
  • IMF, World Bank say World Bank preparing $3 bln package of support for Ukraine in coming months
  • World Bank package to include at least $350 mln to be submitted to board for approval this week
