The Prime Minister of Ukraine, Denys Shmyhal, and the President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), Odile Renaud-Basso, have signed an agreement aimed at supporting the energy sector of Ukraine.

According to "European Truth", Shmyhal announced this on his Facebook page.

The agreement includes a funding of 270 million euros under state guarantees, along with a grant of 140 million euros from the Norwegian government.

"This financing will enable Naftogaz of Ukraine to import significant volumes of natural gas in preparation for the upcoming heating season," Shmyhal explained.

He noted that since the full-scale war began, the EBRD has mobilized over 6 billion euros for Ukraine in the form of loans, grants, and guarantees.

Earlier reports indicated that by 2025, the EBRD plans to invest at least 1.5 billion euros to support Ukraine's economy and businesses during wartime.

In particular, 1 billion euros will be allocated to support the energy sector of Ukraine.
