The EU will provide Ukraine with a reparations loan: what it means and the terms of repayment

Ukraine will receive a 'reparations loan' from the EU

According to her, Ukraine will receive a new funding instrument from the European Union - Reparations Loan, which includes special repayment conditions.

Roksolana Pidlasa, the head of the Budget Committee of the Verkhovna Rada, announced this innovation on the social network Facebook.

According to her, Ukraine will only have to repay this loan if Russia first compensates Ukraine for reparations.

The EU will transfer €6 billion to Ukraine through ERA loans

Moreover, the EU will transfer €6 billion to Ukraine through ERA loans (the so-called '50 billion dollars from G7') a few months earlier than planned - approximately in October of this year.

Pidlasa also noted that the issue of the new funding instrument and Ukraine's needs for international funding in 2026 were discussed with Maarten Verveij, the director of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Economic and Financial Affairs (DG ECFIN) and his colleagues.

DG ECFIN deals with economics and finances, as well as macro-financial assistance for Ukraine, including both classical macro-financial support and new instruments - ERA Loans and the announced Reparations Loan.

The European Union is providing Ukraine with new funding instruments, such as the 'reparations loan' and ERA Loans, to support the country's economy. This will allow Ukraine to receive a significant amount of funds to overcome financial difficulties and develop in the future.
