The World Bank on Thursday
revised its estimate on the drop in Ukrainian GDP this year,
saying it will fall by 8% and not 5% as forecast in June.
The plunge results from an ongoing conflict between Ukraine
and Russia, World Bank analysts said.
Also on Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that
Russia does not intend to restrict the movement of foreign
capital as foreign investors scramble to pull their money out of
Russia in light of Western sanctions on the country.
