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 Ukraine's energy sector.

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

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