Ukraine receives over €4bn more from the EU: what will the money be spent on

Ukraine has received €4.05 billion from the European Union under two programmes.

This was announced by the European Commission.

Of this amount, €3.05 billion was transferred to Ukraine under the Ukraine Facility for Recovery and Integration. With this disbursement, the total EU support to Ukraine under this programme has reached €22.7 billion since its launch on 1 March 2024.

Ukraine has not implemented all the reforms envisaged for this tranche of funding from the Ukraine Facility. Therefore, it received €3.05 billion instead of the planned €4.5 billion.

Ukraine received another billion euros under the ERA Loans mechanism, financed from frozen Russian assets.

Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022, EU countries have provided Ukraine with humanitarian, financial and military assistance totalling €168.9 billion.

In early August, the United States agreed to provide Ukraine with new security assistance worth more than $200 million. This was the result of an agreement between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US presidential candidate Donald Trump.
