Ukraine received $3.78 billion tranche under EU loan, says prime minister

Ukraine received a tranche of €3.3 billion ($3.78 billion) under a loan package from the EU, the country’s prime minister said Friday

“Ukraine has received another €3.3 billion tranche from the EU under the Ukraine Support Loan,” Serhii Koretskyi said in a statement on US social media company X.

Saying that the funds will go toward Ukraine’s top defense priorities, including the procurement of missiles and drones, Koretskyi thanked the European Commission and all EU member states for supporting Ukraine and strengthening its military.

According to an EU delegation statement on the funds’ disbursement, the latest tranche is the fourth payment made to Kyiv under the Ukraine Support Loan's defense window, with nearly €15 billion having been provided to the war-torn country this year.

“Europe will continue to deliver the support Ukraine needs to defend its people and its territory,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was quoted as saying.

The Ukraine Support Loan is a €90 billion limited recourse loan for 2026-2027 agreed upon by the European Council last December, with €30 billion allocated for budgetary assistance and €60 billion for defense procurement support.
