Ukraine risks losing €8 billion in EU aid due to lack of reforms
Ukraine has made virtually no progress in implementing reforms in the justice sector and the fight against corruption, on which further EU financial assistance depends, writes Süddeutsche Zeitung.
In particular, among the required changes are expanding the powers of NABU and SAP, as well as strengthening the independence of the Prosecutor General’s Office and the State Bureau of Investigations. In total, Ukraine and the EU agreed on ten such steps back in December 2025.
At the same time, fulfillment of these steps is tied to Ukraine receiving further financial support. All told, more than €8 billion is at stake, which Ukraine could receive upon completing all 27 reforms.
