On September 24, 2026, the European Union approved a decision to provide Ukraine with nearly €3 billion under the Ukraine Facility program. This assistance is crucial for Ukraine in the context of implementing reforms and stabilizing its economy.
Details of the Payment
Of this amount, approximately €800 million will be provided for the first time through the Ukraine Support Loan, which is designed to meet Ukraine's urgent budgetary and defense needs in 2026-2027. This underscores the EU's commitment to supporting Ukraine amid the ongoing crisis.
Achievement of Target Indicators
The EU Council noted that this payment is a result of Ukraine's successful implementation of 84 out of 95 target steps, which constitutes about 88% of the planned amount for this stage. This indicates Ukraine's progress in reform implementation, which is an important criterion for receiving financial assistance.
Additional Support from Norway
In addition, Norway has also made a significant contribution to supporting Ukraine by providing approximately €92 million as a voluntary contribution. This reflects international solidarity with Ukraine and the willingness of partners to assist in difficult times.
