Also, the head of the Kiev branch of the Association of Real Estate Experts, Oksana Kovtun, told Delo.ua that the demand for rentals in the capital has decreased significantly in the last few weeks.

This week a renovated three-room apartment in a new house in Podol was rented for 26. thousand UAH, and a two-room apartment of 90 square meters in Golosevo for 18 thousand UAH,” he said.
