Prometey Group of Companies has signed a $3 million leasing agreement with the First Ukrainian International Bank (FUIB, Kyiv) to produce railcars for grain transportation, the company said on its website.

The group noted that in the second year of the war its companies are under enormous pressure because of the limited working conditions, but continue to “actively move and meet their obligations on time.
