Ukraine’s Parliament has ratified documents launching the Ukraine Support Loan: €60 billion to support defence needs
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has ratified the Memorandum of Understanding on macro-financial assistance to Ukraine under the Ukraine Support Loan, as well as the Agreement on the Ukraine Support Loan.
This paves the way for a €90 billion European Union support mechanism for Ukraine covering 2026–2027. Of the total amount, €60 billion will be allocated for defence needs.
Defence support in 2026
In 2026, Ukraine expects to receive €28.3 billion in defence support under the Ukraine Support Loan.
The first defence tranche, amounting to €5.9 billion, will be directed towards Ukrainian drone production, strengthening the defence industry, and urgent supplies for the front line.
Investing in Europe’s security
Every euro invested in Ukraine’s defence strengthens European security. Ukraine continues to deter russian aggression and protect Europe. Ukraine will continue working with its partners to secure additional resources to meet the critical needs of the Defence Forces.
The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine expresses its gratitude to the European Union and its member states for their support, and to the Members of Parliament of Ukraine for their support in ratifying these important documents.
