Germany and other EU states are blocking the allocation of a 2nd tranche of macro-financial assistance to Ukraine worth EUR 8 billion, according to Ihor Zhovkva, Deputy Head of the Office of the President

This was stated by the adviser to the President of Ukraine, deputy head of the Office of the President Ihor Zhovkva.

"Very positive news today: Ukraine received EUR 1 billion from EUR 9 billion of macro-financial aid that was approved by the decision of all the leaders of the European Union states. The European Council confirmed this decision twice", Zhovkva said.

"We expect to receive another EUR 8 billion. Unfortunately, certain states of the European Union, in particular Germany, are blocking consideration of this issue for now, and the President of Ukraine is actively negotiating with our partners", he added.
