12:08
"The Council of Ministers passed a resolution to lend Ukraine up to €100 million. The deal will be signed on Wednesday," Mateusz Szczurek, the Minister of Finance informed.
This loan was promised by Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz during her visit to Kiev at the beginning of the year. "We came to the consensus with Ukraine that the money will be devoted to financing the modernization of border infrastructure as well as building new borderlines between Poland and Ukraine," Szczurek explained.
The principle of this loan is that at least 60 percent of materials will be imported from Polish producers. "It is not only about supporting Polish firms, but also about helping Ukraine politically and economically," he added.
