Assessing Ukraine's Recovery and Reconstruction Efforts After War.

Foreign donors have pledged €60 billion ($66 billion) of new financial support for Ukraine's reconstruction, as an international conference aimed at funding the war-ravaged country's reconstruction closed. The commitments from governments and international organisations target supporting Ukraine in the short- and medium-term. The bulk of the €60 billion comes from a €50 billion aid package that the European Union plans to roll out until 2027, which was announced on the eve of the conference.

Zelenskyy expresses gratitude for renewed support from allies in Ukraine.

Ukrainian forces have attacked a bridge connecting Ukraine's Kherson region and Crimea, according to Russia-appointed officials. The Chongar bridge was struck by four missiles, which damaged the road, but no casualties were reported. Meanwhile, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has called on NATO leaders to focus on bolstering Ukraine's fighting capacity during its ongoing counteroffensive against Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned that Russia is considering carrying out a "terrorist" attack at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.

Donors urged to support Ukraine's concrete projects for reconstruction.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for "concrete" projects to help rebuild the country at a donor conference in London, attended by more than 1,000 representatives from 61 countries. The conference aims to raise funds to help Ukraine recover from the damage inflicted by Russia's war of aggression. The scale of devastation is enormous, with some experts saying Ukraine needs the equivalent of the Marshall Plan that helped rebuild Europe after World War II. The European Commission has outlined investment plans for the country, but said they were just the beginning.

Syrian aid organizations face unprecedented funding crisis and forced to scale down operations.

As the Syrian crisis enters its 13th year, aid organizations are struggling to draw attention to the worsening conditions faced by Syrian refugees, particularly in neighboring countries like Lebanon and Turkey. The annual donor conference hosted by the European Union aims to raise $11.2 billion for humanitarian aid, but pledges are expected to fall short. The World Food Program has already announced cuts to aid for 2.5 million people in Syria due to an "unprecedented funding crisis." Meanwhile, anti-refugee rhetoric has surged in neighboring countries, and authorities have imposed curfews and restrictions on refugees.
