KIEV, April 8 - Ukraine’s war with pro-Russian separatists and severe economic fragility have shaken investor confidence in the solvency of the country’s banks and companies, leaving some of their biggest corporate names struggling to pay their debts, the Financial Times newspaper reported on Tuesday.

The newspaper said that while the government has secured a bail out from the International Monetary Fund and is in negotiations with creditors, Ukraine’s corporate sector has been completely shut out of international capital markets.
