Commission disburses €4.36bn to Ukraine from support loan

€3.7bn is the second of three 2026 instalments of macro-financial assistance, and €658m is the seventh payment from the defence leg

Ukraine met all 12 agreed reform conditions for the macro-financial tranche, including taxing income earned via digital platforms and ending the VAT exemption for low-value parcels. Most of the defence funding is meant to buy from Ukrainian producers. Earlier tranches: see the entries of 07.10.2026 and on the €2.86bn payment (European Commission, press release, 05.11.2026).
