💸️️️️️️ The EU has allocated €2,86 billion to Ukraine for drones, missiles, air defense and other urgent frontline needs, - European Commission
The funds have already been disbursed under the EU loan program for €90 billion. They will be used to procure unmanned aerial vehicles, air defense systems, missiles, radars, electronic warfare equipment and ammunition.
"While Russia stalls on the front, it continues to intensify air attacks, brutally striking Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure," said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, stressing the need to urgently strengthen Ukraine's air defenses.
Of the total loan package, €60 billion is allocated for defense, and a further €30 billion for budgetary support in 2026-2027 years. In 2026 alone the EU plans to direct €28,3 billion to bolster Ukraine's defense-industrial capacity.
By the end of the year Ukraine still has access to a further €29,64 billion in European financial support, including funds for defense and financing the state budget. Their disbursement depends on the conditions set by the respective programs.
