🇬🇧 English

This regulation amends the Ukraine Facility to channel additional budget assistance to Ukraine in 2026 and 2027 through the existing Facility framework. It integrates the Ukraine Support Loan, which is to be repaid by future Russian reparations, as extra loan-based financial support under Chapter III. The assistance will be provided upon approval of Ukraine’s Financing Strategy and an updated Ukraine Plan that includes further rule of law and anti-corruption measures. Borrowing costs for this new loan are excluded from the Facility’s subsidy and governed instead by the separate Regulation (EU) 2026/467.
