This was announced by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.
He said that the relevant agreement was signed in Washington on 25 April with the Bank's Managing Director Anna Bjerde.
«The funds will be used to purchase energy storage systems by «Ukrhydroenergo». This will allow us to create a stock of electricity and strengthen our energy resilience», added Denys Shmyhal.
As a reminder, Ukraine needs $17.3 billion for priority recovery in 2025, but has so far managed to raise only $7.4 billion.
