The World Bank says it intends to support Ukraine with up to 3 billion dollars in development projects in 2014. The Washington-based development agency said 10 March 2014 it had received a request for support form the interim Ukrainian government 'and stands ready to continue supporting the Ukrainian people' with badly needed reforms for the economic sector. The projects would need to be approved by the World Bank board, an agency official confirmed. EPA/MATTHEW CAVANAUGH
