Ukraine received €1.24 billion from the EU for Ukrainian-made drones, interceptors and missiles
Ukraine has received an additional €1.24 billion from the European Union under the defence component of the Ukraine Support Loan.
The funds will go to the priority needs of the Defence Forces of Ukraine: Ukrainian-made drones, interceptor drones, UAV munitions, and missiles.
This support directly strengthens the capabilities of the Defence Forces of Ukraine on the battlefield while also generating additional orders for Ukraine’s defence industry.
€13 billion in defence funding
With the new tranche, Ukraine has now received almost €13 billion in defence funding under the Ukraine Support Loan.
The Ministry of Defence thanks the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, European Commissioner for Defence and Space, Andrius Kubilius, and the EU Member States for their consistent support for Ukraine and for strengthening its defence capabilities.
€60 billion for Ukraine’s defence needs
The Ukraine Support Loan provides for up to €90 billion in support for Ukraine in 2026–2027. Almost €60 billion of this amount is earmarked for defence, with a further €30 billion allocated for budget support.
Under the programme, €28.3 billion is planned for 2026 to support Ukraine’s defence-industrial capacity.
Following the new tranche, €28.1 billion remains available under the Ukraine Support Loan until the end of 2026:
- €15.4 billion to support Ukraine’s defence-industrial capacity;
- €12.7 billion in budget support.
