Russia Ukraine War: The Russia-Ukraine war that started on February 24 has taken numerous lives and the war continues to escalate between the two nations even now.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made an appeal to the heads of the IMF and World Bank on Wednesday and renewed his call to confiscate Russian Central Bank assets held around the world and use them to help rebuild Ukraine.
"To charge the aggressor with compensation for damages...Russia must feel the full price of its aggression." Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said by video link.
At a virtual roundtable hosted by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund on Wednesday (local time), Zelensky stood and called for a moment of silence for a Ukrainian soldier who appears to have been beheaded. A gruesome video that purports to show the beheading spread quickly online and drew outrage in Ukraine, in the latest accusation of atrocities said to have been committed by Russian troops.
Also, the World Bank announced today USD 200 million in grant financing for a project that will repair Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
