Two days before Independence Day/ EU gives Ukraine over 4 billion euros

Ahead of Ukraine's 34th anniversary of independence on 24 August, the EU is providing support to the country by providing €4.05 billion. This includes €3.05 billion through the European Commission's Exceptional Macro-Financial Assistance (MFA) Programme.

"As Ukraine celebrates its 34th Independence Day, the EU sends a clear message: our solidarity with Ukraine is unwavering. Today's disbursement of over €4 billion demonstrates our unwavering commitment. This new funding underlines our commitment not only to Ukraine's recovery, but also to its future as a sovereign and democratic country. Because when Ukraine is strong, Europe is stronger," said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

Since Russia's full-scale invasion began in February 2022, the EU and its Member States have mobilised €168.9 billion in humanitarian, financial and military assistance to Ukraine and its people.

With this latest disbursement, total EU support to Ukraine under the Facility has reached €22.7 billion since its launch on 1 March 2024. This represents almost 60% of the funds available under the Plan for Ukraine.

Ukraine will receive up to 50 billion euros in grants and loans for the period 2024-2027 under the Assistance Program for Ukraine.

The disbursement of funds comes in the context of Ukraine's continued progress on EU accession reforms, including the restoration of the independence of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office by the Verkhovna Rada on July 31. Protecting the autonomy of these two institutions is a cornerstone of Ukraine's anti-corruption architecture and its European path. /CNA
