During the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC 2026), Naftogaz of Ukraine and the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM Bank) signed an agreement to develop a financing mechanism for up to USD 300 million.
It was reported by the Naftogaz press service.
The statement notes that the mechanism provides for the possibility of direct lending to US suppliers and contractors for the purchase of equipment, works, and services by Naftogaz Group companies.
The initiative is a continuation of strategic agreements between Ukraine and the US aimed at supporting the Ukrainian energy sector and strengthening its resilience amid the war.
Specifically, it involves securing funding for the restoration and development of energy infrastructure damaged by russian attacks.
It is noted that the Naftogaz team has been preparing this document over the past six months.
Its signing was made possible, in particular, by Ukrainian Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko’s visit to the US and her talks with EXIM Bank President John Jovanovic.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko led the Ukrainian delegation at the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC 2026).
Ihor Smilianskyi, head of Ukrposhta, declined to participate in the Ukraine Recovery Conference due to a conflict with Polish customs authorities.
