Thus far, the US federal government has spent about $9 billion on Ukrainian pensions. If Congress approves President Biden’s next supplemental aid package, the Ukrainian pension payments will continue at a rate of up to $600 million per month. Previous reports of this spending have raised eyebrows. Critics argue that the US should shore up its own retirement system before bailing out that of a foreign nation.

The pension spending is part of a larger effort by the United States and the World Bank to stabilize Ukrainian government finances during the war. Ukraine was already running deficits before Russia invaded in February 2022, but since then, the gap between revenues and expenditures has widened. According to IMF data, Ukraine’s general government financing gap increased from 4.0 percent of Gross Domestic Product in 2021 to 18.6 percent of GDP in 2023. The gap would have been much wider had the World Bank not injected foreign funds, primarily from the US, into the nation’s government sector.

War on Gaza: Survivors recount harrowing Israeli field executions

For three days, Moemen Raed al-Khaldi lay wounded and motionless between the corpses of his killed family members, pretending to be dead to protect himself from being shot by Israeli soldiers.

On 21 December, Israeli soldiers broke into the house where the Khaldi family had taken refuge in northern Gaza and, in mere minutes, they shot everyone present.

The soldiers left the house thinking they had killed them all, only Moemen remained alive, bleeding for days before the neighbours found him and took him to hospital.

From his hospital bed in al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City, he recounted to Middle East Eye what happened on 21 December.

Israeli forces kill 325th Palestinian in West Bank since 7 October

Israeli forces killed a young Palestinian man on Thursday during another military raid in the occupied West Bank, taking the number of Palestinians killed in the territory since the war on Gaza began on 7 October to 325.

The latest victim was 29-year-old Usaid Bani Odeh, the Palestinian health ministry said.

Bani Odeh was wounded during a confrontation between residents and Israeli troops in the northeastern West Bank town of Tammoun, near Toubas, local Palestinian sources said.

He was transferred to Toubas’s hospital but pronounced dead shortly after, according to the sources.
