The EU Council has approved amendments to the Ukraine Facility and its associated Ukraine Plan, enabling Kyiv to receive more than €8 billion in additional financing in 2026.

The Council’s press service reported the decision, according to Ukrinform.

On Thursday, the EU Council adopted changes to the Ukraine Facility and the related Ukraine Plan. The plan sets out a roadmap of ambitious reforms which Ukraine must fulfil prior to disbursements under the Facility. The amendments reflect an additional €8.3 billion in financing for 2026, provided through the Ukraine Support Loan, agreed by the European Parliament and the Council in February this year.

According to the European Commission’s proposal, the amended Ukraine Plan introduces additional reform steps, particularly in the areas of rule of law and anti‑corruption.
