Dozens of banks in Ukraine have approved a combined 10 billion hryvnias ($240 million) in financing of energy solutions to help the country sustain the constant attacks on its grid since signing a voluntary accord on energy resilience months ago, a senior banker said.
"The banks, maybe more than 20 or 30 banks, signed a memorandum to try to align our actions toward the financing of energy solutions some months ago," said Laurent Dupuch, CEO and country manager of Ukrsibbank, majority owned by BNP Paribas.
