The World Bank allocates $200 million for emergency repairs in Ukraine
07:58 | The World Bank announced today it will invest $200 million in rebuilding Ukraine’s heating and energy infrastructure. Going forward, the bank wants to join forces with partners to disburse another $300 million.
The $200 million will include emergency repairs to transformers, portable boilers and other critical infrastructure, the bank said.
In total, the World Bank has already invested over $23 billion in pledges and donations in Ukraine. More than $20 billion has gone to Ukraine through all kinds of projects.
Ukraine’s infrastructure was damaged to the tune of $11 billion last year and remains one of the most critical areas where Ukraine needs support, director Anna Bjerde said.
Secret documents allegedly leaked by an employee of the military base
06:01 | The person who leaked confidential US government documents worked at a military base. The first documents containing sensitive information regarding, among others, the war in Ukraine emerged at the end of last year in a closed chat group on the Discord messaging service, writes the Washington Post. They were posted there by a 20-year-old who led the group and called himself OG. He said he brought them from his job to the base.
The paper is based on conversations with two members of the chat group who claim to know OG’s true identity. The newspaper read messages from the chat group and analyzed some 300 photos of classified documents, most of which have not yet been published elsewhere. The paper also says it has a voice recording, photos and a video of OG.
