Kiev, March 22 Ukraine received a concessional loan from Canada worth 2 billion Canadian dollars ($1.5 billion), the Ukrainian Finance Ministry said.

The 10-year credit, which carries an annual interest rate of 1.5 per cent, was channeled to Ukraine's state budget, Xinhua news agency reported on Thursday.

The loan is subject to a 4.5-year grace period from the date of its disbursement.

The assistance comes under the third additional agreement with Canada, an extension of the main agreement signed on August 8, 2022.
