A loan of €90 billion, which the European Union will provide to Ukraine, can be repaid using funds from frozen Russian assets. RBC-Ukraine was informed about this by the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine.
The department's response states that such a scenario will become possible if the aggressor country refuses to pay reparations to Ukraine.
The Ministry of Finance added that in 2026, Ukraine will be provided with several tranches of assistance under the loan program: in particular, €16.7 billion for social budget support; €28.3 billion – for defense needs. In addition, Ukraine will receive €8.35 billion in the form of macro-financial assistance and through the Ukraine Facility program.
At the same time, the Ministry of Finance noted, after the approval of the Ukraine Support Loan, Ukraine and the European Union continue technical consultations in order to agree on the final parameters of the agreement.
“In particular, the discussion on the number and volume of tranches continues. At the same time, the direction of budget support funds is associated with the fulfillment of certain conditions, which may also affect the size of individual tranches,” the department emphasized.
