Ukraine will receive the rest of the budget support on a quarterly basis after meeting the indicators set out in Ukraine’s plan.
Financial assistance from the EU in 2024 will reach €16 billion, €3 billion of which are grants, according to the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine.
Background:
The European Parliament approved the regulations of the Ukraine Facility programme in February 2024. According to the approved regulations, the EU support programme for Ukraine in the amount of €50 billion will be valid from 2024 to 2027.
In April, the European Commission supported the Ukraine Plan reform proposed by the government of Ukraine within the framework of the Ukraine Facility mechanism, which defines the conditions for receiving €50 billion of macro-financial assistance during 2024-2027.
Ambassadors of EU member states supported the plan for the Ukraine Facility, agreeing with the positive assessment of the document proposed by the European Commission.
