This regulation establishes a EUR 90 billion Ukraine Support Loan for the years 2026 and 2027. The loan is funded through Union borrowing on capital markets and backed by the EU budget, with 25 Member States participating via enhanced cooperation, excluding Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia from any budget guarantee obligations. The loan is to be repaid by Ukraine only once it receives reparations from Russia; until then, immobilised Russian Central Bank assets may be used as a repayment source. Funds will support Ukraine's macro-financial stability, external financing needs, and defence industrial capacities, with an indicative split between budget assistance and defence support. Disbursement occurs in instalments subject to conditions including respect for democracy, rule of law, and anti-corruption measures.
