Sweden announced it's pulling development funding from Zimbabwe and four other nations to redirect cash toward Ukraine instead. The Nordic government plans to axe aid going to Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Mozambique, Liberia, and Bolivia over the next couple of years. Benjamin Dousa, who handles international development stuff, said Ukraine became the top foreign policy focus, and they're bumping support there to roughly a billion dollars.
The shift frees up around $212 million that'll get pushed into Ukrainian infrastructure projects like power grids. Sweden has already ditched support for over ten countries since the current administration started running things, and Zimbabwe's finance minister already projected their incoming foreign assistance dropping to $350 million from the $500 million they were expecting.
