The war in Ukraine has provoked a massive humanitarian and economic crisis. The International Monetary Fund approved $1.4 billion in emergency aid for Kyiv this week and says it's ready to help neighbouring countries that request further assistance. The IMF's First Deputy Managing Director, Gita Gopinath, spoke to FRANCE 24's Kate Moody about the need for financing, the impact on regional and emerging economies and how the global economy might change.
