The European Commission’s proposals for financial support to Ukraine amounting to €90 billion for the two-year period 2026-27 mainly consist of two “items”: “Approximately two thirds, amounting to €60 billion, allocated to military assistance, and the remaining one third, corresponding to €30 billion, provided as general budget support”. According to the European Commission, the support will help Ukraine “strengthen its defence capabilities and ensure the continued functioning of the State and of basic public services, while at the same time contributing to Ukraine’s resilience and its greater integration with the European defence industrial base”. The EU “reserves the right to use Russian assets immobilised within the Union to repay the loan, in full compliance with EU and international law”. European Commission Vice-President Valdis Dombrovskis explained: “Today’s proposals will safeguard Ukraine’s financial stability and strengthen its ability to defend itself. This represents an essential step towards ensuring just and lasting peace that guarantees real, long-term security for both Ukraine and Europe. It demonstrates once again our solidarity with the people of Ukraine and represents a vital investment also in Europe’s security”.
