Ukraine has received €2.3 billion ($2.7 billion) from the European Union under the Ukraine Facility program, the Finance Ministry said on Monday.
The funds, transferred to the state budget on Dec. 22, include €2.1 billion ($2.5 billion) in concessional loans and €200 million ($235 million) in grants.
The payment marks the sixth regular tranche under Pillar I of the Ukraine Facility, which focuses on direct budget support. It is the tranche approved by the EU Council and previously announced by Ukraine’s Ministry of Finance on Dec. 12.
Ukraine’s Finance Ministry wrote in its press release the money will be used to finance essential state expenditures, including social payments and humanitarian needs.
Launched in 2024 for a four-year period, the Ukraine Facility is the EU’s flagship financial assistance instrument for Ukraine. Since the program began, Kyiv has already received more than €26.7 billion ($31.3 billion), including over €10.6 billion ($12.4 billion) in 2025 alone.
