  "account": "The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is developing a significant road construction project in Ukraine to tackle logistical issues and facilitate exports, according to EBRD President Odile Renaud-Basso. The bank is currently deliberating on the project's priorities, responding to inquiries about mechanisms for overcoming the logistical hurdles Ukrainian exports face. The EBRD has been actively investing in transportation and logistics sectors, having signed an agreement earlier to finance Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian Railways). A EUR 300 million project is underway to purchase new locomotives to replace damaged ones. Additionally, EUR 130 million has been redirected to provide working capital for energy facilities that were targeted. Following the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC 2026) in June, the EBRD pledged support for the State Agency for Restoration and Infrastructure Development in identifying a shortlist of priority road investments, which will be prepared and financed as part of Ukraine's Unified Project Portfolio.",
