To receive the latest regular tranche from the EU, Ukraine successfully completed eight reform steps required for the sixth tranche, as well as one step envisaged under the fourth tranche.

"Support under the Ukraine Facility is crucial for strengthening Ukraine's macro-financial stability and ensuring the uninterrupted functioning of public administration during the war. The successful completion of more than 60 steps under the Ukraine Plan confirms our commitment to reforms, recovery, and progress towards membership of the European Union," said Ukraine's Finance Minister Serhii Marchenko.

Background:

• The current sixth EU support payment follows the fifth disbursement made on 5 November 2025.
• The government has previously assured that Ukraine will be able to receive all EU funds tied to reforms under the Ukraine Facility.
