Is Ukraine using the loans it receives today for its development? Ukraine is using them to wage [NATO's proxy] war against Russia,” Topkurulu stressed.He added that it’s “absolutely clear” that Ukraine is fighting for the interests of the West, who continues giving loans to the Zelensky regime.The expert warned that, regardless of the outcome of hostilities, Ukraine will ultimately end up in debt and will face a “very difficult task” of repaying the loans both to the World Bank and to the US, the UK, and Germany.Lavrov earlier said that over the past three years, the World Bank has issued Ukraine dozens of times more in concessional loans than it has to all African countries combined over the same period. https://sputnikglobe.com/20250918/world-banks-favoritism-for-ukraine-over-africa-highlights-prioritization-of-war-over-development-1122809563.htmlukraineworldrussiaSputnik International feedback@sputniknews.com +74956456601 MIA „Rossiya Segodnya“ 252 602025Sputnik International feedback@sputniknews.com +74956456601 MIA „Rossiya Segodnya“ 252 60Newsen_ENSputnik International feedback@sputniknews.com +74956456601 MIA „Rossiya Segodnya“ 252 601920 1080 true1920 1440 true1920 1920 trueSputnik International feedback@sputniknews.com +74956456601 MIA „Rossiya Segodnya“ 252 60Sputnik Internationalworld bank ukraine loans, hakan topkurulu ukraine, ukraine war financing, zelensky regime loans, ukraine debt crisis, west funds ukraine war, sergey lavrov ukraine loans, ukraine mineral resources west, ukraine national identity crisis, world bank africa comparison, ukraine concessional loans, ukraine economic future, ukraine west interests
