EU reaffirms unwavering support for Ukraine
|
|
The European Commission has disbursed an additional €1 billion tranche of its exceptional Macro-Financial Assistance (MFA) loan to Ukraine, to be repaid with proceeds from immobilised Russian State assets in the EU, reinforcing the EU's role as the largest donor since the beginning of Russia's war against Ukraine. This payment brings the total MFA disbursements to Ukraine to €5 billion.
The EU's €18.1 billion MFA forms part of the G7-led Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration (ERA) initiative, which aims to provide around €45 billion in support to Ukraine. This funding addresses Ukraine's urgent budgetary needs, which have grown due to Russia's ongoing war of aggression. It will help Ukraine sustain military and reconstruction efforts, including the repair of critical infrastructure like energy, water, and transport systems.

Valdis Dombrovskis, Commissioner for Economy and Productivity; Implementation and Simplification
|
|
“The EU continues to provide the financial support Ukraine needs to continue its fight for survival in the face of Russia's brutal aggression. Today, we make the next €1 billion payment under the G7-led Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration (ERA) loans initiative. The EU has now provided Ukraine with €5 billion as part of its overall €18.1 billion contribution under this initiative. It also ensures that Russia pays for its aggression by using the proceeds of immobilised Russian state assets to repay the loans provided. Together with EIB Group, we also provided today a further €300 million to address Ukraine's urgent recovery and reconstruction needs.”
