The Lisovy Kvartal residential complex in Brovary is entering a new stage of development with the start of sales of apartments in the final building. The complex is positioned as comfortable housing close to a green area and the developed infrastructure of the city center. The final phase implements the best solutions and standards that have ensured the success of the entire Lisovy Kvartal complex: functional layouts, high-quality materials, modern construction technologies, and attentive consideration of the needs of future residents.
Real estate sales are conducted according to the MON (future real estate object) mechanism. MON is a part of a divisible object of unfinished construction, which, after commissioning, will become an independent real estate object, for example, an apartment, garage, or commercial premises. Investments in FPO are registered in electronic systems and protected by law, so the buyer receives property rights to the selected part of the property even before the completion of construction.
Advantages of FPO for buyers:
The complex is located in the central district of Brovary, just 15 minutes from the Lisova metro station and important transport hubs of the capital. A reliable monolithic frame structure was used for the construction of the final building, which guarantees durability, fire resistance, and resistance to seismic activity.
There is a modern kindergarten on the territory of the complex, and nearby is the largest city park and a picturesque pine forest, which create a comfortable environment for families to live in.
Various types of apartments are available for sale: from one-room apartments (approximately 40 m²) to spacious family options (up to 100 m²). The construction is being commissioned by MTDK BUDIVELNE MISTO LLC in partnership with Alliance Novobud.
The sales office at 8A V. Chornovola Street, Brovary, tel. +38 (044) 344-08-23, is already scheduling appointments with buyers and providing detailed information about available layouts, purchase terms, etc.
The insurance company INGO made an insurance payment of UAH 20 million for an electronics warehouse in Kyiv that was completely destroyed as a result of a rocket and drone attack in July 2025.
According to the insurer, one of the strikes caused a large-scale fire at a warehouse complex in the Solomyanskyi district, where the company’s inventory was stored. The fire completely destroyed more than 57,000 items, mainly mobile and portable electronics, household appliances, and accessories.
The payment was made under an insurance contract for the inventory of an electronics store chain.
“This is one of the most difficult war insurance cases we have ever dealt with. The complete destruction of the warehouse meant that there were no identifiable remnants of the goods left. Therefore, we initiated an economic examination, which allowed us to document the volume of inventory and the actual cost of the damage. It was thanks to the accuracy of this process that we were able to complete the settlement in less than three months,” said Alexander Kolpakov, head of INGO’s property damage settlement department.
The assessment confirmed that at the time of the incident, the warehouse contained goods with a total value of over UAH 20 million. Thanks to the payment from INGO, the company was able to cover a significant part of the losses and resume its activities.
The payment was made on October 7, 2025.
INGO Insurance Company has been operating in the Ukrainian market for over 30 years and provides insurance solutions for businesses and individuals. It has licenses for 18 classes of insurance, is one of the market leaders in terms of premiums, assets, and insurance payments, and has an extensive service network throughout the country.
The Japan Export Credit Agency (NEXI) is ready to expand military risk insurance in Ukraine, which is key to attracting Japanese investment and technology to rebuild Ukrainian industry and infrastructure.
According to the website of the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture, this was discussed at a working meeting between a Ukrainian delegation led by Economy Minister Oleksiy Sobolev and NEXI President Atsuo Kuroda on October 21, 2025, in Tokyo.
During the meeting, it was also noted that Ukraine is preparing to introduce compensation for enterprises throughout Ukraine where insurance companies operate. A special component of direct compensation will apply to frontline regions. This will make insurance, in particular NEXI, more affordable. Ukraine is interested in using NEXI tools to insure Japanese equipment supplies as part of the Industrial Ramstein initiative.
An agreement was reached to expand cooperation with other export credit agencies, in particular the Polish KUKE and the British UKEF.
“Expanding cooperation with NEXI is a step towards unlocking Japanese investment and supporting industrial recovery. War does not cancel development, but rather the opposite. We are actively looking for solutions that allow us to attract financing and launch projects today,” said Alexei Sobolev.
The information emphasizes that NEXI already covers about half of Japanese exports and investments in Ukraine.
PrivatBank ranked 37th in the ranking of the world’s 150 largest acquirers according to the international analytical publication Nilson Report based on the results of 2024, improving its result from last year by three places.
According to the ranking, PrivatBank provided 3 billion 461.3 million purchase transactions made with bank cards.
The Ukrainian bank is 1.2 million behind Chile’s Transbank, which is in the lead, but is 154.2 million transactions ahead of Brazil’s StoneCo, which is in second place.
PrivatBank remains the only Ukrainian representative in the top 150 ranking of the world’s leading banks and financial acquiring companies in terms of the number of payments made with bank cards in the retail network.
At the end of 2024, the bank also rose to 16th place among the 20 largest acquirers in Europe.
“Acquiring is a very cool business, and we are truly a leader in this sector. It combines the needs of retail customers and business customers. Thanks to the products offered alongside acquiring, customers can buy more and sellers can sell more: credit cards, payment in installments, instant installment plans, and so on,” explained Yevhen Zaigraev, member of the PrivatBank board for corporate business and SMEs, in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
According to him, the bank knows its customers well—retailers and their statistics—and has even created a separate focus in the corporate segment, focused on various types of retail.
Zaigraev clarified that, unlike mobile operators, the bank does not sell anonymized data from its database, but, like any other bank, uses the accumulated data for analytics in order to make better decisions based on modeling.
“Data is, of course, an advantage. For example, thanks to this information, we have better risk models to provide even higher quality loans. Thanks to this data, we can predict, and have already created models, which products customers need or do not need. As a result, we sell with a much higher conversion rate: depending on the product, 5-7 times higher,” said a member of PrivatBank’s board.
According to him, taking into account things such as AI (artificial intelligence), the potential for using data is very high.
According to the Nilson Report ranking, Russia’s Sberbank became the world’s largest acquirer with an annual volume of nearly 52.1 billion transactions, followed by JPMorgan in the US with 50.8 billion, and Worldpay with 48 billion transactions.
The Nilson Report is a leading international analytical publication specializing in research on the global market for payment cards, electronic payments, and acquiring.
According to PrivatBank, in the first nine months of 2025, Ukrainians paid for goods and services worth UAH 900 billion through the bank’s acquiring ecosystem, which is 20% more than in the same period of 2024.
At the same time, card payments through the Terminal app increased by almost 70% to UAH 10.8 billion, and through the LiqPay internet acquiring service to about UAH 66 billion since the beginning of 2025.
The Ukrainian children’s art festival “Veselka” was held in Novi Sad, Serbia, organized with the participation of the Ukrainian Embassy and the Ukrainian diaspora. The event became a platform for cultural unity and support for Ukrainian families living in Serbia.
The Veselka festival brought together children and families of Ukrainian origin from different cities in Serbia, offering them master classes, concerts, and interactive zones. The aim of the event was to preserve ties with Ukrainian roots, support the emotional well-being of migrant children, and strengthen the cultural infrastructure of the diaspora.
Exact data on the number of Ukrainian citizens and residents in Serbia varies. According to the Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs, approximately 22,000 Ukrainian citizens have been registered in the country since the start of the war.
However, statistics on the number of Ukrainians living permanently or under temporary protection are not published regularly.
