Ukrainian Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi said the government is launching a subsidised lending programme offering up to $22.4 million per affected company, along with simplified access to state premises, to help businesses recover from Russian attacks. Koretskyi described 'Russian terror' as growing, citing the mounting toll of strikes on commercial and industrial facilities. The announcement comes amid a wave of Russian strikes on Ukrainian cities that have damaged shopping centres, warehouses, factories and other commercial infrastructure, adding pressure on Ukraine's already strained wartime economy.
