The European Union considers the possibility of creating a special fund with a volume of 100 billion euros for long -term financial support of Ukraine. About it reports Bloomberg with reference to sources in EU institutions.
The new fund is planned to be included in the seven -year EU budget. Its presentation is expected in July 2025, and the start of funding is expected for 2028. According to preliminary data, funds will be provided both in the form of grants and in the form of preferential loans. They will be tied to the implementation of the reforms necessary for further European integration of Ukraine.
This initiative is relevant against the backdrop of uncertainty about American assistance. It is known that the new Donald Trump administration has temporarily suspended military support to Ukraine last week.
The European Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis has stated that Brussels is studying all possible sources of filling the fund, including revenues from the EU budget and potential use of profits from frozen Russian assets.
This step is intended to strengthen the role of the European Union as a key donor and strategic partner of Ukraine in a long war and the process of approaching EU membership.
