The state-owned JSC Ukreximbank and NEFCO have signed a loan agreement for setting up a new green facility to support the implementation of renewable energy and energy-efficiency projects in Ukraine. 

Stas Prisiazhnuk, a 16-year-old entrepreneur from Donetsk, a war-torn city in Eastern Ukraine, is expecting to receive $40,000 in seed-stage funding from Muru-D, a Australian startup accelerator program, to develop his fintech project Persollo. Muru-D will receive a 4% stake in the company.
