Ukrainian Prime Minister Serhiy Koretsky announced an expansion of the government's war risk insurance program for businesses. The program has been simplified to expedite compensation for losses suffered by companies due to Russian attacks.

The government is also extending this mechanism to leased property and simplifying insurance contract requirements. Additionally, state support for major projects in fuel, logistics, trade, and manufacturing industries has been increased.

The state will subsidize 5.5% of the annual interest rate charged by banks, with a maximum limit of UAH 1 billion for groups of related companies.
