DAVOS, Switzerland, May 25 (Reuters) - The third day of the World Economic Forum included calls for help from Ukraine, support for ECB President Christine Lagarde's interest rate plan, India sticking to a wheat export ban and Pakistan's new foreign minister questioning its IMF deal.

Here's what you need to know:

ECB'S LAGARDE GAINS ALLIES

European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde gained key allies for her plan to raise rates out of negative territory this summer, even as one of her own board members expressed some scepticism about the policy path ahead.

Dutch central bank chief Klaas Knot, among the most conservative members of the ECB's Governing Council said he fully backed this plan and Olli Rehn, Finland's central bank chief, also voiced support for rate hikes in the summer, as did the ECB's own chief economist Philip Lane.

CALL FOR ARMS

Western countries such as Germany must overcome reluctance to supply Ukraine with modern weapons as Kyiv risks running out of stocks, lawmaker Anastasia Radina said.

"We have only one choice, and this is to receive modern NATO style weaponry because we cannot win the war with the Soviet style weaponry that we have," Radina told Reuters.

VOLKSWAGEN PRODUCTION

Volkswagen Chief Executive Herbert Diess said he sees "clear improvement" in semiconductor supplies and expects the German carmaker's global production can recover during the rest of 2022.

Diess said disruptions to Volkswagen's supply chain in Ukraine are also easing. Russia's invasion of Ukraine temporarily halted production of wiring harnesses and other components used in Volkswagen vehicles.

"The situation from Ukraine is under control now if nothing bad really happens anymore we won't lose too many cars," he said.

IMF VIEW

International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva on Wednesday said she worries about the trend toward economic and political fragmentation.

She said the IMF worries about "the risk that we are going to walk into a world with more fragmentation, with trade blocs and currency blocs, separating what was up to now still an integrated world economy."

DIFFICULT JUNCTURE ON IRAN

Talks with Iran aimed at ending a long standoff on explaining the origin of uranium particles found at apparently old but undeclared sites are at "a very difficult juncture", U.N. nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi said.

Grossi and Iran agreed in March on a three-month plan to get to the bottom of the issue, which has been a source of tension between Iran and Western powers even during wider negotiations aimed at bringing Tehran and Washington back into full compliance with the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

INDIA WHEAT BAN

India has no immediate plans to lift a ban on wheat exports, but will continue with deals which are done directly with other governments, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal told Reuters.

The world's second biggest producer of wheat banned private overseas sales of the grain on May 14 after a scorching heat wave curtailed output and domestic prices hit a record high. Global wheat prices surged after the decision.

PAKISTAN FOREIGN MINISTER

An ongoing bailout deal between Pakistan and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is "outdated" given a number of global crises, Pakistan's foreign minister said, as the country struggles to implement targets set by the lender.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said it would be justified for Pakistan to plead this case before the IMF in current talks.

BREWING TARGET

Budweiser brewer AB InBev is "off track" in reaching its goal of making 20% of its beer volume non-alcoholic and low-alcohol by 2025, its chief sustainability officer Ezgi Barcenas told Reuters.

"We are a little over 6% still," Barcenas said in an interview on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum, adding: "We are off track." (Editing by Alexander Smith and Nick Zieminski)
