Partner banks of the state program of affordable mortgages “eHouse” have accredited 47 developers since the beginning of the year, bringing the total number of accredited developers to 67, the press service of PrJSC Ukrainian Financial Housing Company (Ukrfinzhytlo) reports.
According to the report, 11 developers joined the program in June. As a result, Ukrainians can now purchase housing under the program in 77 residential complexes in 15 regions of Ukraine.
Since the start of the eHouse program, Ukrainians have purchased 3,242 first-sale apartments, including 388 in newly constructed facilities.
The eHouse affordable mortgage lending program was launched in Ukraine in October 2022. Contract servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, employees of the security and defense sector, healthcare workers, teachers, and researchers can apply for a preferential mortgage at 3% per annum for up to 20 years with a down payment of 20% of the cost of housing.
Starting from August 1, 2023, war veterans, combatants, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and citizens who do not have their own housing larger than the standard area can apply for the eHouse program at a 7% discount.
Under the terms of the program, privileged categories of participants can purchase housing in a house under construction and houses not older than 10 years (in the capital and regional centers), while other participants can purchase housing in a house not older than three years or in a building under construction.
Ten partner banks participate in the program: state-owned Oschadbank, PrivatBank, Ukrgasbank, Ukreximbank, Sens Bank, as well as Globus Bank, Sky Bank and Credit Dnipro Bank, MTB Bank and TAScombank.
According to Ukrfinzhytl, as of July 12, loans were issued to 11,426 participants for UAH 18.1 billion.
Three phases of power cuts will be in effect in Ukraine on Monday from 00:00 to 16:00, with four phases simultaneously at other times.
“Tomorrow, on July 15, consumption restrictions will be in effect throughout the day. From 16:00 to 24:00, regional power distribution companies will apply four simultaneous cut-offs. At other times, three stages of blackouts will be in effect,” NPC Ukrenergo said in its telegram channel.
As the NPC explained in its social media, consumers in each region that are not included in the list of critical infrastructure facilities are divided into 6 queues or groups. The application of restrictions to three queues means that about half of the consumers will not have electricity at the same time. Four queues mean that up to 70% of consumers in each region will be cut off at the same time for a certain period. Information on the schedules of outages in each region should be found on the websites of regional power distribution companies or on their social media pages.
For his part, YASNO CEO Serhiy Kovalenko explained: “When the NPC gives a limit of one or two stages, there will be light in the light gray zones (“possible outage”), if the limit is three stages, then there may be no light in one of the stages in the light gray zones for 1-2 hours. During subsequent outages in the light gray slots, there will be no electricity in the other queue. When the limit is four queues, there will be no electricity throughout the entire light gray zone,” he wrote on Facebook.

On the eve of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris, French Ambassador to Ukraine Gael Vecierre gathered Ukrainian athletes and para-athletes, as well as acting Minister of Youth and Sports of Ukraine Matvei Bedny and presidents of the National Olympic Committee and the National Committee of Disabled People’s Sports Sushkevich at the French residence.
As the French Embassy in Ukraine notes on its Facebook page, since the beginning of the Russian aggression, Ukrainian athletes have been training in the most difficult conditions: under shelling, without electricity, with sirens dictating the rhythm of training, at sports bases affected by shelling, in exile. At least 450 Ukrainian athletes have lost their lives. But despite the military challenges, Ukrainians continue to fight, once again demonstrating their incomparable resilience and determination.
As part of its commitment to Ukraine and as the host country of the Games, France supports Ukrainian athletes in every possible way. In particular, the country has granted asylum to many of them and allocated EUR1 million for their training in France.
“I know that Ukrainian Olympians and Paralympians at the Games will be motivated by an extraordinary will to win – Will to Win is your aptly chosen slogan,” the Ambassador said, assuring that Ukrainian colors – yellow and blue – will be at the heart of the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games.
