EU Commission offers EUR 5 billion in macro-financial assistance to Ukraine
On Wednesday, the European Commission offered to allocate EUR 5 billion of macro-financial assistance to Ukraine.
This was reported by the president of the commission, Ursula von der Leyen.
"The situation in Ukraine requires our unwavering support. Today, the European Commission offers Ukraine an additional 5 billion euros in macro-financial assistance," Von der Leyen said in a message on Twitter.
According to her, this loan complements the 10 billion euros that the European Union has already provided to Ukraine in the form of financial, humanitarian and military aid.
On May 18, the European Commission offered to provide Ukraine with additional macro-financial assistance in the amount of up to 9 billion euros in 2022 in connection with Russia's aggression.
The first tranche of 1 billion euros came to Ukraine at the beginning of August.
Until now, disputes between member states regarding guaranteeing the remaining 8 billion euros have continued in the EU, and the allocation of aid has been delayed
