Sayenko Kharenko advised on the third Eurobond issue by Ukraine under the USAID guarantee

Sayenko Kharenko acted as Ukrainian legal counsel to Citigroup, J.P. Morgan and Morgan Stanley, lead managers of the third USD 1 billion Eurobond issue by Ukraine, guaranteed by the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
