EU approves $3.3 billion Ukraine aid tranche tied to reforms progress

As envisaged by Ukraine Facility, the disbursement is tied to Kyiv implementing a roadmap of economic and governance reforms. According to Svyrydenko, 86 steps of the reform plan are done, with 65 more still in progress.

“We continue to implement reforms and move toward European integration,” the PM wrote in a Telegram post.

“We are sincerely grateful to our European partners for their support and trust.”

She added that, with this decision, the total funding disbursed to Ukraine under the Ukraine Facility since 2024 has reached EUR26.8 billion ($31 billion).

Interfax-Ukraine reported that the payment was made after the European Commission gave a positive assessment of Ukraine’s progress on the plan’s benchmarks for Q4 2025.

Taras Kachka, Ukraine’s Deputy PM for European and Euro-Atlantic integration, earlier said the EUR2.8 billion tranche had been planned for June and followed passage by the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament) of several EU-integration bills.
