EU Council greenlights EUR 1.2 bln assistance package to support Ukraine
EU ambassadors on Tuesday, May 5, endorsed a European Commission proposal to provide macro-financial assistance to Ukraine amounting to EUR 1.2 billion to help the country cope with the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to UNIAN, the funds will be available for 12 months and disbursed in two installments. The loans will have a maximum average maturity of 15 years.
The text will need to be adopted by the European Parliament and the Council before it can enter into force. Besides Ukraine, the EU plans to provide financial assistance to Albania (EUR 180 million), Bosnia-Herzegovina (EUR 250 million), Georgia (EUR 150 million), Jordan (EUR 200 million), Kosovo (EUR 100 million), Moldova (EUR 100 million), Montenegro (EUR 60 million), Republic of North Macedonia (EUR 160 million), and Tunisia (EUR 600 million). As UNIAN reported earlier, the European Commission in April 2020 proposed to provide EUR 1.2 billion to Ukraine amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
