Механизмът за Украйна предоставя на Украйна финансова подкрепа с цел да се укрепят финансовата стабилност, възстановяването и модернизацията на страната, да се поддържа функционирането на нейната публична администрация и да се подкрепят усилията ѝ за реформи.
What is the Ukraine Facility?
The Ukraine Facility is an instrument that enables the EU to provide Ukraine with over €50 billion in stable and predictable financial support over the period 2024-2027.
The facility aims to support Ukraine’s recovery, reconstruction and modernisation, address its financing needs, sustain its public services, advance reforms, benefit society and mobilise private investment.
Reconstruction and modernisation
Financial stability
Uninterrupted public services
Reforms
Civil society
Investments in the private sector
The establishment of the Ukraine Facility in February 2024 once again demonstrated the EU's commitment to supporting Ukraine in the face of Russia's war of aggression and on its path towards EU membership.
The facility is designed to be a coherent and flexible instrument that is adapted to the unprecedented challenges of supporting a country at war. It is organised around three pillars.
Pillar 1: direct financial support
Pillar 1 provides direct financial support to Ukraine for its recovery, reconstruction and modernisation, including reforms it intends to take as part of the EU accession process.
This funding is conditional on Ukraine meeting the reform milestones set out in the Ukraine Plan. This pillar has an envelope of over €38 billion.
Pillar 2: investment framework
Pillar 2 provides a framework for attracting public and private investment for Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction.
Funding supports, for instance, companies willing to invest in Ukraine but deterred by high risks and expensive insurance. This pillar has an envelope of €9.6 billion.
Pillar 3: accession assistance
Pillar 3 introduces accession assistance and other supporting measures to help Ukraine align with EU laws and carry out the reforms necessary on its path to EU accession.
Technical assistance is provided to authorities at national, regional and local level, and also to civil society organisations. This pillar has an envelope of over €4 billion.
What are the conditions for the support?
Payments under pillar 1 are made by the EU upon fulfilment of the conditions laid out in the Ukraine Plan presented by the Ukrainian government in March 2024 and approved by the Council in May 2024.
The Ukraine Plan sets out Ukraine's roadmap for the:
- recovery, reconstruction and modernisation of the country
- reforms it plans to undertake as part of its EU accession process
In addition to implementing these reforms, in order to obtain the support Ukraine must also uphold democratic mechanisms, including a multi-party parliamentary system, the rule of law and human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities.
At the Council, the Ad hoc Working Party on Reconstruction and Support for Ukraine is in charge of assessing Ukraine's progress in implementing reforms, and it also approves disbursements under the Ukraine Facility.
What is the Ukraine Facility's total budget?
The initial budget of the facility was €50 billion for the period from 2024 to 2027. EU leaders agreed on this amount on 1 February 2024.
This amount is being provided through both loans (approximately €33 billion) and grants (approximately €17 billion).
In July 2026 the Council amended the Ukraine Plan to include an additional €8.3 billion in financing for 2026, provided through the Ukraine support loan.

How are the funds provided?
Funds under pillar I are provided via grants and loans, based on the implementation of the Ukraine Plan.
Payments are made on a fixed quarterly schedule, based on payment requests submitted by Ukraine and following verification by the European Commission of the satisfactory fulfilment of the relevant conditions. The Council gives the final green light.
Under pillar II and III the available grants are provided on a project-by-project basis.
Loans are guaranteed through the EU own resources. Grants are covered through the Ukraine reserve, a special instrument proposed in the context of the revised Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF).
The facility is equipped with a robust framework for audit and control. A dedicated independent audit board scrutinises the use of the funds.
Contributions of other donors to the facility
The Ukraine Facility allows EU member states, third countries and international organisations to contribute on a voluntary basis. Thus far, the United Kingdom, Norway and Sweden have made voluntary financial contributions.
What support has the EU provided so far?
€43.3 billion has at present been mobilised across the three pillars of the Ukraine Facility.
This figure covers over €32 billion disbursed under pillar 1, comprising €6 billion in bridge financing, €1.89 billion in pre-financing, and eight regular payments.
Why a new instrument?
Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine has caused Ukraine damage amounting to hundreds of billions of euros.
It is estimated that reconstruction costs will run to more than €500 billion over the next decade, resulting in a loss of access to financial markets and a significant drop in public revenue, while public expenditure to address the humanitarian situation and maintain the continuity of state services has increased markedly.
The facility gives the EU a unified legal instrument that ensures a consistent and transparent approach and a coherent and integrated policy response to Ukraine's situation. The facility replaces previous support provided through the macro-financial assistance+ (MFA+) programme and the neighbourhood, development and international cooperation instrument (NDICI).
At the same time, the facility makes it possible to link Ukraine's recovery, reconstruction and modernisation efforts to its EU accession path.
The facility also provides a clear mid-term perspective, with predictable funding. Predictability is essential to keeping the Ukrainian state functioning and planning effectively during wartime. It is also important for international partners and other donors.
