This note contains a brief commentary on some of the main legal terms in international debt issues of or guaranteed by Ukraine. The objective is to analyse the degree to which these bonds are consistent with practice in the international capital markets and to weigh up the balance between the sovereign debtor and the bondholder creditors in terms of the rights and protections granted by the terms of the bonds.
