According to the World Bank, the U.K. and Denmark provided $500 million and $30 million in loan guarantees, respectively, to meet Ukraine’s urgent needs caused by Russia’s full-scale war.

The loan will help cover essential “public services such as health, education, and social protection,” the statement reads.
