Yulia Svyrydenko: European Union approves regulatory changes to provide Ukraine with EUR 90 billion in financial assistance
Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Svyrydenko met with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President António Costa.
The Head of Government thanked for the European Union’s important decision to provide EUR 90 billion in financial assistance to Ukraine for 2026–2027 under the EU Support Loan for Ukraine.
“Today, the Council of the European Union approved the regulatory changes necessary to disburse this loan. It will help ensure macrofinancial stability, strengthen Ukraine’s defence capabilities, and guarantee the uninterrupted functioning of essential state services during wartime,” noted Yulia Svyrydenko.
The Prime Minister of Ukraine also expressed her gratitude for the EU’s consistent support of Ukraine’s energy sector.
“Together with the EU, we will develop a new Winter Energy Plan for 2026–2027. This is a significant contribution to strengthening our energy resilience, restoring infrastructure, and preparing for the next heating season amid ongoing attacks,” emphasised the Head of Government. “The European Union remains a reliable partner in countering russian aggression. Since the start of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine has received more than EUR 200 billion in military, financial, and humanitarian support. We are grateful for the shared position of our partners and their clear understanding that Ukraine’s success is integral to Europe’s security.”
Yulia Svyrydenko stressed that Ukraine continues to advance the reforms required to meet the criteria for EU accession. “Ukrainian society has made its European choice irreversible, and we are working steadily to achieve this goal,” the Prime Minister underlined.
