EU approves €90 billion loan to Ukraine
Change
On December 19, 2025 EU leaders approved a €90 billion loan facility for Ukraine backed by the EU common budget for the next two years.
Why it matters
The facility is sized at €90 billion and covers Ukraine's budgetary needs over a two‑year period. Funding for the facility is secured against the EU's common budget rather than seized Russian state assets. EU leaders finalized the arrangement on December 19, 2025. No consensus was reached to mobilize frozen Russian assets for this loan.
Implications
- • EU common budget allocations cover €90 billion across the two‑year period.
- • Frozen Russian assets are excluded as a funding source for this support.
