Ukraine is set to receive over €3.2 billion in funding after the Council adopted a decision on the fourth regular disbursement of support under the EU’s Ukraine Facility. This funding aims primarily to bolster Ukraine’s macro-financial stability and support the functioning of its public administration.
Payments under the Ukraine Facility are closely linked to the Ukraine Plan, which outlines Ukraine’s strategy for recovery, reconstruction and modernisation, along with a timetable for the implementation of reforms aligned with the country’s EU accession goals over the next four years.
Background
The Ukraine Facility, which entered into force on 1 March 2024, provides up to €50 billion of stable financing, in grants and loans, to support Ukraine’s recovery, reconstruction, and modernisation for the period from 2024 to 2027.
Of these €50 billion, up to €32 billion is indicatively earmarked to support the reforms and investments set out in the Ukraine Plan, whereby disbursements are conditional on the delivery of identified indicators. Since its entry into force, the Ukraine Facility has already disbursed €6 billion by way of bridge financing, €1.89 billion in pre-financing, and three instalments of approximately €4.2, €4.1 and €3.5 billion.
Following the Commission’s assessment of Ukraine’s payment request submitted on 6 June 2025, the Council concluded that Ukraine had satisfactorily fulfilled a number of reforms set out in the Ukraine Plan, including reforms to public administration, the management of public assets, human capital, decentralisation and regional policy, green transition, the digital and agri-food sectors, and the management of critical raw materials.
