The Naftogaz of Ukraine national joint stock company has attracted another EUR 50 million in long-term financing from the European Investment Bank (EIB) to import natural gas and ensure stable operation of the energy system in the winter.
This was announced in a statement by the Naftogaz group, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
It is noted that the funds will help ensure heat and energy supply for Ukrainian families, critical facilities and businesses during peak system loads.
The new financing complements the previously attracted EIB loan of EUR 300 million, as well as grant support from the European Union in the amount of EUR 127 million for gas purchases, provided with the participation of the Norwegian government within the Ukraine Investment Framework.
The financing is part of the EIB's Energy Support Plan for Ukraine and is implemented within the framework of the coordinated Team Europe approach.
The company emphasized that the loan was made possible thanks to the support of the European Commission under the EU Investment Program for Ukraine's risk reduction program.
It contains safeguards against russian gas imports and requires the beneficiary to strictly adhere to the principles of transparency and good corporate governance.
In parallel, Naftogaz undertakes to reinvest the equivalent of the attracted financing in renewable energy and decarbonization projects.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, in early November 2025, the Naftogaz group signed a grant investment agreement with the European Investment Bank (EIB) for the amount of EUR 127 million.
Previously, Naftogaz attracted loans from state-owned PrivatBank, Ukreximbank, Oschadbank, and Ukrgasbank.
On October 1, Naftogaz Group signed a historic loan agreement with the European Investment Bank (EIB) for EUR 300 million.
