13 August 2024 – The Commission has disbursed nearly €4.2 billion to Ukraine under the first pillar of the Ukraine Facility. This brings to €12.2 billion the total EU funding disbursed to the Ukrainian government under the Facility so far. The disbursement follows a positive assessment that Ukraine has satisfactorily fulfilled the nine reform indicators linked to the first regular quarterly payment. For the period 2024-2027, up to €50 billion in grants and loans will be provided under the EU's Ukraine Facility to support the country's efforts to sustain macro-financial stability, promote short-term recovery as well as rebuild and modernise.
