KYIV, July 14 - DTEK Energy has submitted applications to state-owned banks and expects to receive approximately UAH 5 billion similar to the government's 5-7-9% concessional lending program for the reconstruction of thermal power plants after Russian shelling, said Ildar Saleev, CEO of the company.

"We hope that we will attract about UAH 5 billion through the soft lending program similar to the 5-7-9% government program," he said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
