The EU provides Ukraine with EUR 5.9 billion, of which EUR 1.8 billion is under the Ukraine Facility

Today, the European Union has provided Ukraine with another tranche of financial support totaling EUR 5.9 billion. Of this amount EUR 1.8 billion was disbursed under the Ukraine Facility instrument, and EUR 4.1 billion under the G7 Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration for Ukraine (ERA) mechanism.

The funds received will be channelled into priority state budget expenditures in the social and defence sectors, as well as into the country's recovery.

"The support of the European Union is an important factor in Ukraine's financial stability. We have completed nine structural steps in the second quarter under the Ukraine Plan and have already reported on the third quarter. In 2025, we expect to receive the next tranches provided for in the program. This year would be one of the most challenging in terms of the number of steps and the complexity of reforms, so we urge all stakeholders involved to continue working on our commitments so that EU financial support translates into concrete results within the country," said Oleksii Sobolev, Minister of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture of Ukraine.

The tranche under the Ukraine Facility was provided based on the results of the implementation of nine structural steps in QII 2025, including:

• adoption of the Strategy for the Handling of Non-Performing Loans;
• entry into force of the Law of Ukraine “On Vocational Education”;
• entry into force of the Cabinet of Ministers' resolution on the procurement of social services at the expense of the state budget;
• adoption of the Strategy for the Development of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises;
• publication of a study on the possibility of granting legal entity status to local communities;
• introduction of a roadmap for separating the renewable energy surcharge from the transfer tariff;
• promulgation of a portfolio of investment projects for the extraction of critical raw materials;
• launching international tenders for the conclusion of production sharing agreements (PSAs);
• entry into force of the Cabinet of Ministers' order on the development of a national greenhouse gas emissions trading system.

By the end of the year, Ukraine must implement another 25 steps provided for in the Ukraine Facility Plan. These include the adoption of draft laws on restoring control over state aid, resuming competitions for civil service positions, housing policy, investments in renewable energy, and railway transport safety.

In the fourth quarter, 11 draft laws are scheduled to be considered, each of which is related to the implementation of the relevant reform.
