“Thanks to the Government decisions adopted today, Ukraine will attract another $500 million from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development… We will direct the funds to support the low-income, IDPs, and pay salaries to teachers and doctors,” Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal said at the Cabinet’s meeting.

According to him, this is part of a large project to support public expenditures to ensure sustainable public administration.
