The Naftogaz Group has secured a loan of UAH 4.7 billion from PrivatBank. The funds will be used to build up the necessary reserves in underground gas storage facilities ahead of the 2025/2026 heating season.
This was announced by Serhiy Koretskyy, Chairman of the Board of Naftogaz of Ukraine.
“At the same time, cooperation with international financial organisations and partner countries continues. I am grateful to the management of PrivatBank for their quick response to our request. I thank the government for supporting our efforts to prepare for winter,” said Koretskyy.
There is still not enough gas. Ukraine is looking for billions for imports and is preparing for new Russian attacks.
- Earlier, Naftogaz announced that it would diversify its gas supply sources and routes, which would increase Ukraine’s energy security and stability in the context of a full-scale war. The company has already contracted 440 million cubic metres of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from ORLEN.
