Washington (AFP) – International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva warned Thursday that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine poses a “great economic risk to the region and the world”, threatening global growth.
“I am very concerned about what is happening in Ukraine and, above all, about the consequences for innocent people,” Georgieva wrote on Twitter. This constitutes a great economic danger to the region and the world. We are assessing the implications and are ready to support our members when needed.”
“We are assessing the implications and are ready to support our members when necessary,” she added.
At dawn on Thursday, Russia launched a large-scale military attack on Ukraine, including air strikes and movements on the ground, even in the direction of the capital, Kiev, which left within hours a few dozen deaths.
Following the start of the invasion, oil prices rose sharply, exceeding the $100 per barrel threshold for the first time in years, accompanied by a sharp decline in stock markets.
The attack sparked widespread condemnation in the international community, especially among Western countries, and both the European Union and NATO called for emergency meetings.
