UK Support to Financing of Recovery from Economic Emergency in Ukraine (FREE Ukraine)
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has led to a large and growing financing gap, with Ukraine unable to source affordable finance from domestic or international capital markets and revenue sources drying up.

The UK will provide fiscal support to the Government of Ukraine through a £74m grant to a World Bank Multi-Donor Trust Fund and up to $450m in guarantees enabling more World Bank lending to Ukraine. This will provide important financial support to Ukraine.. Outcomes of the financing will reflect a reduced financing gap for the Ukrainian Government, the maintenance of essential payments (e.g. pensions and state salaries) and services, and limiting the extent of market concerns.
