OTTAWA – Canada will provide another low-interest, $200-million loan to Ukraine to help promote economic stability.
The government says the loan will come from Export Development Canada.
The loan agreement includes a provision enabling Canada to audit how the money is used and requires Ukraine to provide regular reports on the spending.
It’s the second $200-million loan Canada has extended to the troubled country, which is fighting a Russian-backed rebel movement.
In supporting Ukraine, Canada has imposed a broad range of political and economic sanctions affecting more than 200 Russian and Ukrainian individuals and entities.
Canada has also provided Ukraine with a range of non-lethal security assistance and equipment, as well as training for members of its armed forces.
