President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported on the fulfillment of his election promise: this year Ukrainians will be able to get an affordable mortgage on housing at 7%.

"In our program, we promised to do everything so that young Ukrainian families have only one issue to contemplate: what should they choose - an apartment in the city or a country house," the President reminded in his vlog.

He noted that this week an important step was taken towards this - a mortgage available to Ukrainians at 7% per annum was launched.

"I think this is a great victory. When someone tells you that during his term the figures in the country were higher, he is not lying. Because two years ago the average mortgage rate in Ukraine was 21%. It will be 7% now. And already this year Ukrainians - and, by the way, this applies not only to young families, but also to all our citizens - will be able to get an affordable mortgage on housing at 7%," Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
