EU Council approves $2.7 billion in aid under Ukraine Facility

“This amount reflects Ukraine’s successful completion of eight steps required for the sixth disbursement, as well as the completion of an outstanding step from the fourth disbursement,” the statement said.

“This funding aims primarily to bolster Ukraine’s macro-financial stability and support the functioning of its public administration.”

The message notes that Ukraine Facility payments are directly tied to the EU-approved list of reforms the Ukrainian government must enact, known as the Ukraine Plan.

“Following the completion of the most recent steps, Ukraine has now successfully adopted 63 out of the 68 steps required so far under the Ukraine Facility,” the Council added.

“The current sixth disbursement of EU support follows the recent fifth disbursement on 5 November 2025. This quick consecutive provision of funds mirrors Ukraine’s speed and commitment to implement reforms aligned with the country’s EU accession goals.”

Launched in 2024, the Ukraine Facility will deliver up to EUR50 billion in financial and technical assistance through 2027: EUR38.27 billion for budgetary support, EUR6.97 billion for an investment fund, and EUR4.76 billion for technical and administrative assistance. Of that total, up to EUR32 billion is earmarked for reforms and investments under the Ukraine Plan, with disbursements tied to specific benchmarks.
