Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The damage and disruption require government intervention, with the Cabinet of Ministers offering state-owned premises to businesses needing to relocate or spread operations. Furthermore, Ukraine's 2026 budget allocates 18 billion hryvnias for interest subsidies through the Affordable Loans 5-7-9% program.
