EU Agrees €6.6B Fund Distribution for Ukraine
For the remainder of 2026, Ukraine continues to have access to €33.7 billion in financial support: €29.3 billion is allocated under a loan to support Ukraine.
Consensus
- Countries of the European Union agreed on the distribution of €6.6 billion for Ukraine from the European Peace Fund.
- The funds are allocated for compensating EU member states, military training of Ukrainian forces, and joint procurement of military equipment.
- Some EU countries have indicated they will redirect their compensation portions to Ukraine.
- The European Union has transferred €8 billion from frozen Russian assets since 2024 to Ukraine.
- Of the €8 billion, over €3.5 billion were used directly for weapon purchases by Ukraine.
Points of divergence
