The European Union has disbursed €1 billion in additional financial aid to Ukraine, reaffirming its role as the largest donor to the country since the start of Russia’s full-scale war.
This latest disbursement is part of a broader initiative by the G7 group of industrialized democracies, which plans to provide a total of around €45 billion in new aid payments by 2027. The EU is contributing €18.1 billion to this initiative.
The aid package is a loan that will be repaid with interest income from frozen Russian state assets in the EU. This brings the total G7-backed loan disbursements to Ukraine to €10 billion since the beginning of 2025.
The EU’s support to Ukraine now exceeds €170 billion, demonstrating its unwavering commitment to the country’s recovery and reconstruction efforts.
The EU’s assistance to Ukraine encompasses various forms, including humanitarian aid, military assistance, and financial support. This aid is crucial for Ukraine’s budgetary, military, and reconstruction needs.
The EU has also imposed sanctions on Russia, immobilizing Russian state assets to generate extraordinary revenues for Ukraine’s benefit.
The EU’s financial aid to Ukraine is expected to address urgent budgetary needs, sustain military and reconstruction efforts, and support critical infrastructure repair.
This aid package will help Ukraine maintain macroeconomic stability, restore essential public services, and promote economic recovery.
The EU remains committed to providing regular and predictable financial support to Ukraine in the long term.
This commitment is evident in the EU’s decision to extend all sanctions against Russia and continue providing aid to Ukraine despite challenges and vetoes from some member states.
Other significant donors to Ukraine include Germany, the United Kingdom, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, and Poland, among others.
Germany has committed approximately €17.7 billion in military assistance and over €15 billion in total aid, while the United Kingdom has pledged €9.1 billion in military aid and almost €14 billion in total assistance.
