Key Points of the EU’s New Loan for Ukraine

  1. Part of G7 Support Plan: The loan is the EU’s contribution to a larger G7 financial assistance package, aiming to provide up to $50 billion (around €45 billion) to aid Ukraine.
  2. Repayment through Frozen Russian Assets: The loan will be repaid using windfall profits from assets seized from the Russian state and held within the EU.
  3. Funds Distributed until End of 2025: Financial assistance will be disbursed progressively to Ukraine, with all installments due by the end of 2025.

Parliament’s Approval and Conditions

On Tuesday, Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) voted overwhelmingly in favor of this macro-financial assistance (MFA) loan, with 518 supporting, 56 opposing, and 61 abstaining. This MFA loan, part of the G7’s support commitment, underscores the EU’s stance against Russian aggression and its support for Ukraine’s resilience. However, the final loan amount may vary depending on the total contributions of other G7 members.

The Ukraine Loan Cooperation Mechanism: This framework enables Ukraine to utilize profits from Russian Central Bank assets, frozen within EU jurisdictions, for servicing and repaying the EU’s MFA loan and similar loans from other G7 partners.

Conditions and Oversight for Disbursing Funds

To ensure accountability, the loan is contingent upon Ukraine’s commitment to:

  • Uphold democratic principles,
  • Respect human rights,
  • Adhere to policy guidelines outlined in a memorandum of understanding.

Furthermore, Ukraine must comply with oversight protocols set out in the Ukraine Plan, including fraud prevention and rigorous control systems, to ensure funds are allocated effectively.

Karin Karlsbro’s Statement on EU’s Support

Karin Karlsbro, the rapporteur for this assistance package, emphasized the EU’s solidarity with Ukraine, stating:

“Ukraine’s citizens are defending not only their own sovereignty but also democracy, human rights, and international law for all of us. The financial demands are enormous, and Russia must be held accountable for the destruction caused. Rebuilding Ukraine will ultimately fall to those responsible for its devastation—Russia.”

What’s Next?

With the EU governments having endorsed the proposal, the Council will adopt the regulation following Parliament’s approval, with publication set in the EU’s Official Journal. The regulation will become effective the day after this publication.

Background on the G7 Loan Package and Russian Assets

The EU’s €35 billion loan is part of a broader plan introduced by G7 partners to lend up to $50 billion to Ukraine. This financing strategy leverages approximately €210 billion in assets from Russia’s Central Bank, currently frozen under EU sanctions following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Profits from these assets are earmarked for supporting Ukraine’s military needs and reconstruction efforts.
