Ukraine has received another tranche of €4.36 billion from the European Union under the EU Ukraine Support Loan. Of this amount, €3.7 billion is macro-financial assistance, and another €660 million will be directed to defense needs. This was reported by Prime Minister Serhiy Koretskyi.
Overall, the program envisages providing Ukraine with up to €90 billion in 2026–2027. Of this, €30 billion is for budget support, and another €60 billion is for defense procurement and the development of Ukraine's defense-industrial complex.
Budget support depends on Ukraine's implementation of reforms agreed with the EU, while defense financing is provided for specific procurements.
Ukraine must submit product schedules to the EU — lists of the weapons it needs and plans to spend the funds on. The proposal specifies quantities, estimated cost, justification of need, delivery timelines, potential manufacturers and suppliers.
