The European Commission has disbursed almost EUR 4.2 billion to Ukraine under the Ukraine Facility, bringing the total amount of EU funding allocated to the Ukrainian government under the Ukraine Facility to EUR 12 billion.
This was reported by the European Commission on Tuesday.
“Following a request for disbursement submitted by Ukraine, the Council endorsed the Commission’s assessment that Ukraine has satisfactorily implemented nine reform indicators related to the first regular quarterly payment. These conditions, covering public financial management, management of state-owned enterprises, business environment, energy and demining, were set out in the Plan for Ukraine,” the press release said.
The EC noted that today’s payment follows the initial disbursements made under the Ukraine Facility, namely €6 billion in bridge financing and €1.9 billion in pre-financing, and is evidence of the rapid implementation of the Ukraine Plan.
