ZAPORIZHIA, Feb. 6 – Zaporizhia municipal company Vodokanal is facing difficulties repaying a loan issued by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development due to the drop in the value of the hryvnia.

Before the financial and currency exchange rate turmoil, Vodokanal managers were successful in paying the loan and interest on it. The company returned $13.5 million out of $28 million issued by the EBRD.
