In January 2025, Ukraine's state budget received $ 3.8 billion in funding, most of which was contingent debt to the EU.
- Yes, $ 3.1 billion of the total was provided by the European Union.
- Another $ 700 million is equivalent to the issuance of state bonds in the domestic market.
As explained in the Ministry of Finance, EU funds are the first tranche of the Union within ERA Loans. These are loans that will be repaid at the expense of income from frozen assets of the Russian Federation.
"That is, the cost of the loan will be borne by the aggressor country, not Ukraine.
$ 3.1 billion is a contingent debt obligation for Ukraine," the statement said.
