Ukraine will receive the first EUR3 billion tranche in 2023 from the EU this week as part of a EUR18 billion macrofinancial assistance package, European Commission Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis said.
“I have the honor to sign a memorandum of understanding with the EU to provide Ukraine with financing in 2023, up to EUR18 billion in loans. The first payment of EUR3 billion will follow later this week. This will allow Ukraine to cover its most urgent needs with a steady flow of funds throughout the year,” he wrote on Twitter.
