LVIV (Reuters) – Ukraine’s central bank governor Kyrylo Shevchenko said on Thursday the Ukrainian banking and financial system remained resilient amid Russia’s invasion and had been boosted by international financial support amounting to around $15 billion.

“The National Bank is doing everything necessary to ensure the continuity of both non-cash and cash payments and the smooth functioning of the banking system of the state under martial law,” he said in a briefing.
