60B euros pledged to help Ukraine rebuild

London, United Kingdom: Foreign donors have pledged 60 billion euros ($66 billion) of new financial support for Ukraine, the UK said Thursday, as an international conference aimed at funding the war-ravaged country's reconstruction closed.

'We had not envisaged this to be a pledging conference. Nevertheless, today at this conference, we can announce a combined 60 billion euros in support to Ukraine,' said James Cleverly, foreign minister of the UK, which hosted the meeting.
