UE respinge finanțarea suplimentară pentru Ucraina și cere reforme

The EU is not ready to approve a new financial aid package for Ukraine, which estimates a need for 69 billion euros by 2027. Ukraine's Finance Minister, Serhii Marcenko, requested additional support, highlighting a potential funding gap. However, EU officials emphasize the importance of unlocking previously approved funds, contingent on Ukraine implementing agreed reforms. The European Commission has released only a portion of the 90 billion euro loan for 2026-2027, and discussions continue regarding Ukraine's financial needs. The proposal to use frozen Russian assets for funding faces opposition from several EU states, raising concerns about legal and financial risks. The Commission insists on reform implementation before further financial support can be provided.
