Yulia Svyrydenko: Ukraine has received EUR 5.9 billion from the European Union
Ukraine has received EUR 5.9 billion from the European Union.
In particular:
- a EUR 4.1 billion resource was disbursed under the ERA Loans mechanism — the final tranche of the EUR 18 billion program financed from the proceeds of immpobilized russian assets. This is an example of how russia is beginning to pay for its crimes. Yet it is also a signal of European solidarity and determination to support our ability to withstand the crisis.
- a EUR 1.8 billion — under the Ukraine Facility. This confirms that Ukraine is moving confidently along the path of reforms and towards the full European integration.
“Both decisions are the result of strategic partnership and trust between Ukraine and the European Union,” emphasized Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Svyrydenko.
The Head of the Ukrainian Government conveyed her gratitude to the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, European Commissioners Valdis Dombrovskis and Marta Kos for their leadership and unwavering support for Ukraine.
"This helps us maintain macro-financial stability even in the face of the challenges of war — the largest in Europe since World War II. These funds mean saved lives, rebuilt infrastructure, and a strengthened economy. This means that we can direct more internal resources toward what matters most — national defense. Europe stands with Ukraine. The aggressor will pay. Justice will prevail," Yulia Svyrydenko emphasized.
