Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The European Commission committed a €90 billion loan for Ukraine covering 2026 and 2027, but this package only covers about two-thirds of Kyiv’s financial requirements. The shortfall requires substantial funding from non-EU partners to secure long-term financing for Ukraine’s defense and state operations.
