Global collaboration
In recognition of Ukraine’s immense needs resulting from Russia’s aggression, multilateral development banks, the European Union and international development institutions have mobilised to strengthen cooperation and co-financing efforts, aiming to enhance our collective and individual responses to the Ukraine crisis.
This coordinated approach supports Ukraine and its neighbours on both financing and policy fronts, ensuring maximum impact on the ground.
The CEB is proud to be part of the international effort to stand by Ukraine in support of its freedom and committed to standing with the international community in addressing this unprecedented challenge.
