Ukraine could receive 50 billion euros from the European Union from 2024 to 2027 under the Ukraine Facility program. However, this requires carrying out a number of reforms that some deputies of the Verkhovna Rada are openly sabotaging.
How they vote on Ukraine Facility laws
The lowest rate of support for bills required to implement the Ukraine Facility plan currently comes from the Batkivshchyna faction, according to research by the Holka organization.
The authors analyzed votes on 41 documents from the program’s list.
It turned out that Batkivshchyna votes "for" in fewer than 17% of the bills from the Ukraine Facility plan. For all other issues, they vote in favor on average in 35% of cases.
In addition, according to the analysis, Batkivshchyna was the only faction that openly voted "against" the reforms from this list. The share of such votes was 7,4%.

Why this matters for receiving EU funds
The organization emphasizes that fulfilling the legislative commitments under the Ukraine Facility is directly linked to receiving funds from the EU.
The EU recently approved an additional 8,3 billion euros through the Ukraine Support Loan mechanism, but for this Ukraine must fulfill commitments in the areas of the rule of law and anti-corruption,
— stressed Holka chair Iryna Fedoriv.
The study’s authors also drew attention to the environmental bills included in the Ukraine Facility plan. According to their data, Batkivshchyna deputies did not cast a single vote in favor of the relevant conservation measures.
At the same time, the failure of each vote leads to delays in the necessary reforms and holds up budgetary financing for Ukraine.
Recall that in early June Ukraine received the seventh tranche of financing under the Ukraine Facility from the EU. It was approved based on the reforms carried out and amounted to 2,8 billion euros.
